| And then it hit me.... I am not sure how many people know about my plan to make a self-sufficient medical core of doctors in the future... but yeah, I intend on figuring out a way to invest monies in such a way that it will generate enough wealth to sustain a doctor's without borders organization that will actually truly be without borders.. no matter how dangerous the environment.
So. In short, I need to make money to apply it where I think it could effectively help the most people.
Enter this interesting new gimmick called "Yuwie." Okay, Yuwie is a social networking site much like Myspace but it claims to give much of its advertising monies back to the users. To make a long story short, if someone referred enough people to Yuwie and built an intricate enough web of people underneath them, they could generate a substantial amount of income. Now, do not get me wrong, you would have to build a pretty huge number of referrals inorder to amount to any sizeable amount. If you were net-savvy enough, you could potentially generate a few thousand a month.
Now, a few thousand isn't enough for what I am planning, but to me, as much money as I can funnel away from unimportant things to more serious endevours, the better. So I am asking you to join Yuwie under my referral tree. And guess what? I am going to use all the money for charity. Hopefully self-sustaining charitable practices. The bigger it gets, the better. I don't think it will be anything huge, but who knows? And guess what else? I will keep anyone in my referral tree in mind when I have the money to use, and I will outline how and where I will use it... so if you have a sweet idea, you could get your hands on it as well.
How does that sound?
So, check it out, if nothing else... pass on this message to other people. Get charitable, get efficient.

| Slipping...I've watched you wither for a long time,
and as your soul slips away,
I wish I could trade places with you;
so that I wouldn't have to stay.
Because the longer I lay witness,
to the life you've left behind,
I find myself wondering;
what will I do after your gone.
Perhaps it is selfish of me,
to want to go first;
just so that the pain I feel,
won't get any worse.
So I am weeping for you,
and the friend I once knew,
and the times we shared;
because I knew you cared.
And even though I wish I had left first,
I've come to terms with the idea,
because it would be much worse,
if I knew you had to endure this.
Isn't it interesting that most of humanity falls somewhere between wanting to live forever and not wanting to endure the death of a loved one? Perhaps some of the more thoughtful people whom feel they have come to accept death even secretly wish they would die before any of their loved ones. But when you think about it, isn't that just selfish of you? Just because you don't want to be heart broken you wouldn't mind the idea of all those who care about you enduring the pain of your loss...
So in reality. I guess you should pray that you all die at the same time.. or you all live forever. Both can be arranged, but you all will endure death at one point or another, so if you want to hold on to them forever, then you have to realize the only way this will ever happen is in the afterlife... so get creative.

| Hmm... and what of depth?I have been daydreaming quite a bit lately.. so here goes nothing.
Surah Zukhruf, Adornments of Gold.
1) Ha Mim.
2) By the Book that clarifies.
3) We have revealed this Quran in arabic, so that you might acquire Wisdom.
4) It is in the Mother of the Book in our presence; elevated in dignity, full of Wisdom.
5) Shall we then revoke this message and forsake you, for you are a people given to transgression?
I opened the Quran, and read the first page. What a dilemma. As patient as the most patient of us are, wouldn't we all give up on students who not only refuse to learn, but mock the very subject matter and then have the gall to throw ridicule on the message and instead of pondering the knowledge, they spread corruption and wickedness?
And Allah subhanah wa ta'ala warns, "Will I take away the light I have given you and let you stumble blindly in the dark, until inevitably I will exact my retribution on you for your transgressions?"
And we are still marred by petty indulgence.. foolish dreams that do not even grasp the least bit of what the greatest conquerors and leaders of history seized, rather, only reduce us to pathetic rubbish at the feet of men. I do not know why I tell people this, but if you want to sell your soul, atleast get the entire world and all it contains, because Iblis can and will arrange that for you if you are a decent businessman. But in reality, most people get far, far less, and I think Shaitan himself is embarrassed at how cheap he purchases souls on the daily basis.
Think about it from his point of view... he promised to fill Hell with as many of Adam's children as possible, to which Allah (SwT) responded, "And you will have no power over my righteous servants." This must have been a killjoy in the mind of Shaitan, because it is a challenge of sorts. At that moment he realized that his time will end when our time as a race ends, and he realized from that point on that it may not be as easy as he thought to lead us all in herds to the depths of hell... but as time progressed, he fulfilled much of his promise, even though Allah refers to his (shaitan's) plans as "feeble, and weak."
Even the most feeble of plans are effective against an even more depraved, and intellectually bankrupt human race.
So how shocking is this question of Allah's? He proposes that he could simply remove the light that allows us to make our way through life and hopefully acquire the eternal. And perhaps we do deserve it, because we come up short even against the feeblest of connivers, Shaitan.
Do not get me wrong. Shaitan is a shrewd dealer. He will only give you as much as is required to allow you to slip and fall.. and he knows that making you slip is nowhere near enough, because Allah's mercy is so abundant that even if we had no means to get up, we could simply ask for forgiveness and it would be there. While he is not so amazed when you fall, he truly desires that you do not back up.
And Allah proposes:
6) But how many were the Prophets We sent amongst the peoples long past?
7) Never did we send them a Prophet except that they made a mockery thereof.
8) So we Destroyed them utterly, and they were mightier than you; and hence have reached you the Parables of the Peoples long Past.
So, shall you mock Allah in your feebleness, to the glee of your avowed enemy Shaitan? Remember, Allah created you and Shaitan, and he could leave you stumbling in the darkness of this world. You can see the tattered steps of all those who have lost their way, and the hideous results thereof. Do not fear the feeble plans of Shaitan, fear your inability to discern them, and fear that Allah will withold his grace from you. Shaitan is even more adept at vaguely quantifying the mercy of God than you are, and this is why he is afraid that after all his hard work, you will still enter paradise. So with that, trade your soul for something which only Allah can provide.
Salaam alaikum wa Rahmatullah.

| If I could take you on a date...If I could take you on a date,
you probably are wondering where we'd go?
Would it be an expensive restaurant?
or to watch the local opera show?
If I could take you on a date,
I wouldn't take you out to eat,
I would take you to the graveyard;
and ask you to have a seat.
We would sit amongst the tombstones,
that lay witness to lives long past,
and we would each make a wish.
That our fleeting lives would last.
Not out of a longing for the world,
but rather to do a bit more good,
because of a surety all those in the ground,
would love to come back if they could.
So if I were to take you on a date,
you would have to forgive me for not being romantic,
it is just that I was so worried about your soul,
and I felt it was too urgent to put up with any static.
Whether things would work out between us,
I cant say with any certainty,
but the lessons you'd learn on a date with me,
would last you an eternity.
Just for good measure, your dad would have to come to so it wouldn't be haram. lol.
Sorry.. been singing the blues for a few days. I hope everyone is doing good.
wa'salaam.

| Hmm...
If you want to understand why, then look for the motives, whichever ones are the strongest... this is where you look for your answers. How do you understand a crime? Look at the scene, see what is missing, and ask yourself whom benefits from this new abnormal chain of events.
You want to know the roots of evil? There are no roots. Evil is simply the absence of good. It can manifest itself in many ways, some of which are well known... many others aren't as easy to visualize.
Would you like to understand good? But it has roots, and those would simply have to be the ability to recognize good with the intellect. Why is it recognizable? This is what you have to ask the atheists. They are the only ones who claim not to know.
Would you like to attain happiness? Make other people smile. Recognize the good, and help it root out the evil. Will there be difficulties and tears on this path? Yes, but happiness isn't cheap.
Would you like to understand apathy? Apathy is simply the neutral form of evil. Evil in its inaction is called apathy. Evil while active is called malevolence.
Would you like to understand the human soul?
...so would I. So would I.
If evil is darkness... it is simply an absence of light. Therefore good would simply be the light.
Walk in the light.
