Pearls of Wisdom

[Xalimo Sacdiyo]

Hello fellow SOL'ers!

 

I can't seem to figure out which post is *new* and which post is an old..old post...made new again. Any new ppl having that problem...or is it just moi?

 

So any bored ppl in the house? Let's play a game, let's call it...uhh..mm..."Share the Wisdom" (i didn't say i was creative)

 

Anyway...so everyday we go through something in our lives. Some good, and some bad. Tell us what you have learned so far.

 

Me first--

 

There's pain, pain..... and more pain...wait--happiness. Then, more pain and finally DEATH.

 

:eek:

 

(okay...put the ropes and knives down) step away...slowly. You. Will. Be. Fine.

 

 

Let's try this again, shall we?--

 

Be sure we shall test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss in goods or lives or the fruits (of your toil), but give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere, Who say, when afflicted with calamity: “To Allah We belong, and to Him is our return”:-

They are those on whom (Descend) blessings from Allah, and Mercy, and they are the ones that receive guidance. - [Quran 2:155-157]

 

Your turn!

I learned that there is never has been, and never will be a great leader lacking the sex energy. It is the creative energy of all genius. Now before you misunderstand me let me say that the mere possession of this energy will not make you genius. I learned that you must transform this energy into some other form of desire and action. I learned that Napolean Bonarparte when inspired by his first wife Josephine he was irresistible and invincible. I learned that when his “better judgment” prompted him to put Josephine aside his judgment impaired and his defeat was not far

Are we talking about the same Napolean who thought with his penis...married his mistress, Rose (who he named Josephine)cos' he was gaga over her sexual experience. And, when he went away to Italy only 2 days after their marriage...the poor sucker would write her all these great passionate, romantic love letters...and what did she do........she ignored them.

 

 

The true wisdom is: Don't think with your weinie!

^ This reminds me of a man who tried to hang himself in somalia with his belt ... I was sitting on his jardin with his neice.

 

I broke the door down and got under him lifted his feet untill he was standing on my chest .. i spent 10 minutes like that untill a nieghbor got a knife and cut the rope down.

 

As a souvenier he has a ring around his neck with blank spots where the holes should be and a beating from his brothers and uncles he will never forget.

 

what does this have to do with anything .. your comment about ropes and knives and the Ayat reminded me about this episode ... The pearl of wisdom "No matter what misfortune befalls you ... it is a test from allah ... i.e suicide is not an option"

Xalimo Sacdiyo,

 

While I try to be bland in this SOL pages I couldn’t resist looking for one of Napoleon Bonaparte letters to Josephine on the web. When men are driven by desire to please a woman solely on their sexual energy their actions might be disorganized or totally destructive, but they maybe capable of great achievement If they start mixing their emotions with love and romance, like any good pairing, their actions will be more poise and fruitful. It is mixture of destructive emotion that can create a volatile reaction. It is the destructive emotions when not checked with safety valve that can create deadly beastly actions.The wisdom will be to apply sexual energy as a stimuli to action

 

Dec. 29, 1795

I awake all filled with you. Your image and the intoxicating pleasures of last night, allow my senses no rest.

Sweet and matchless Josephine, how strangely you work upon my heart.

Are you angry with me? Are you unhappy? Are you upset?

My soul is broken with grief and my love for you forbids repose. But how can I rest any more, when I yield to the feeling that masters my inmost self, when I quaff from your lips and from your heart a scorching flame?

Yes! One night has taught me how far your portrait falls short of yourself!

You start at midday: in three hours I shall see you again.

Till then, a thousand kisses, mio dolce amor! but give me none back for they set my blood on fire.

She had quite forgotten the Duchess by this time, and was a little startled when she heard her voice close to her ear. `You're thinking about something, my dear, and that makes you forget to talk. I can't tell you just now what the moral of that is, but I shall remember it in a bit.'

 

`Perhaps it hasn't one,' Alice ventured to remark.

 

`Tut, tut, child!' said the Duchess.

 

`Everything's got a moral, if only you can find it.' And she squeezed herself up closer to Alice's side as she spoke.

 

Alice did not much like keeping so close to her: first, because the Duchess was VERY ugly;

and secondly, because she was exactly the right height to rest her chin upon Alice's shoulder, and it was an uncomfortably sharp chin. However, she did not like to be rude, so she bore it as well as she could.

 

`The game's going on rather better now,' she said, by way of keeping up the conversation a little. `'Tis so,' said the Duchess: `and the moral of that is--"Oh, 'tis love, 'tis love, that makes the world go round!"'

 

`Somebody said,' Alice whispered, `that it's done by everybody minding their own business!'

 

`Ah, well! It means much the same thing,' said the Duchess, digging her sharp little chin into Alice's shoulder as she added, `and the moral of THAT is--"Take care of the sense, and the sounds will take care of themselves."'

 

`How fond she is of finding morals in things!' Alice thought to herself.

 

`I dare say you're wondering why I don't put my arm round your waist,' the Duchess said after a pause: `the reason is, that I'm doubtful about the temper of your flamingo. Shall I try the experiment?'

 

`HE might bite,' Alice cautiously replied, not feeling at all anxious to have the experiment tried.

 

`Very true,' said the Duchess: `flamingoes and mustard both bite. And the moral of that is--"Birds of a feather flock together."'

 

`Only mustard isn't a bird,' Alice remarked.

 

`Right, as usual,' said the Duchess: `what a clear way you have of putting things!'

 

`It's a mineral, I THINK,' said Alice.

 

`Of course it is,' said the Duchess, who seemed ready to agree to everything that Alice said;

 

`there's a large mustard-mine near here. And the moral of that is--"The more there is of mine, the less there is of yours."'

 

`Oh, I know!' exclaimed Alice, who had not attended to this last remark, `it's a vegetable. It doesn't look like one, but it is.'

 

`I quite agree with you,' said the Duchess; `and the moral of that is--"Be what you would seem to be"--or if you'd like it put more simply--"Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise."'

 

`I think I should understand that better,' Alice said very politely, `if I had it written down: but I can't quite follow it as you say it.'

 

`That's nothing to what I could say if I chose,' the Duchess replied, in a pleased tone.

 

`Pray don't trouble yourself to say it any longer than that,' said Alice.

 

`Oh, don't talk about trouble!' said the Duchess. `I make you a present of everything I've said as yet.'

 

`A cheap sort of present!' thought Alice. `I'm glad they don't give birthday presents like that!' But she did not venture to say it out loud.

 

`Thinking again?' the Duchess asked, with another dig of her sharp little chin.

 

`I've a right to think' said Alice sharply, for she was beginning to feel a little worried.

 

`Just about as much right,' said the Duchess, `as pigs have to fly; and the m--'

 

But here, to Alice's great surprise, the Duchess's voice died away, even in the middle of her favourite word `moral,' and the arm that was linked into hers began to tremble. Alice looked up, and there stood the Queen in front of them, with her arms folded, frowning like a thunderstorm.

 

`A fine day, your Majesty!' the Duchess began in a low, weak voice.

 

`Now, I give you fair warning,' shouted the Queen, stamping on the ground as she spoke;

 

`either you or your head must be off, and that in about half no time! Take your choice!'

 

The Duchess took her choice, and was gone in a moment.

And the moral of that story is......

It certainly is one of biggest motivating factors of human greed along money and power. So, it is not suprising that he burned cities and massacred people on his way to a woman's knickers.

[Malika]

For me the thought of death,remembering every minute/hour/day that has passed will never come back,tick tock the clock is ticking..The essence of time! Subhanallah..

 

Whatever the situation may be, in the recollection of death there is reward and merit. For even the man engrossed in the world benefits from it by acquiring an aversion to this world, since it spoils his contentment and the fullness of his pleasure; and everything which spoils for man his pleasures and his appetites is one of the means of deliverance

-abu Hamid al-Ghazali

[‘The Remembrance of Death & the Afterlife’ Ihya Ilum Ud Din]

[Hayat]

nothing is as it seems- those that you think are the worst of men can trully turn out to be the best- whilst those that you held in high esteem-no longer make your judgements credible. they turn out to be the worst. :mad:

 

-nothing is as it seems-where has the trust gone?

[Cabdow]

^ Trustworthiness will be lost, i.e. when authority is given to those who do not deserve it.
