in human life, destruction is a fact.
when the state of demise comes on and kind of hoovers over life, a certain sure-footed level of spiritual and faith-based patience and acceptance may enable one to be holding one’s breath for things to change for better or for worse and then better again.
yet, what is the right way of thinking and approaching such a state of demise to deal with it heads on?

"And We will most certainly try you with somewhat of fear and hunger and loss o f property and lives and fruits; and give good news to the patient." (2:155)

Seek knowledge
Re: demise
thanks brother psyah and intelliphant, jazak-al kheire. indeed, very strong and nice reminders.
demise, meaning, flickering life and its quality all around in the world, when some can be lavish to no end and others are calling out for survival food and water. life is so vulnerable when poverty of otherwise well to do and charitable hearts are sealed with their own selfish traps.
seeking knowledge and being patient are the right things to do, indeed.
