^ is this when you want everyone to say…NO NO shikra you are better then average?

so anyway…

The other day I went to the store and the cashier had an amputated left arm. The entire time I found myself sneaking a glance or two at it even though I tried so hard not to…in fact deep down inside I didnt even want to look at it. Not because I was disgusted by it but because I felt this sense of guilt, sorrow and a hold bunch of other feelings that I can’t even begin to explain.

On my 10 min drive back home I kept thinking about that lady and her arm and it brought tears to my eyes (no exaggeration here). I thought to myself that that could be me. I have some nerve to sit here and complain about so many trivial things…my hair, my eyes, my body…and here is this woman without a limb. How must she feel when she looks into the mirror?

Alhamdulillah Allah (SWT) has blessed me with eyes that can see, a mouth that can utter words, ears that can hear and a body with organs that is functional. What more do I need? What more could I ask for? Alhamdulillah for all that I have.

You said it sooooo well Angel yes.May Allah Mian make all of us think about that.It still doesnt seize to amaze me that we keep on thinking about our tiny littl worlds that we are always so consumed with, and forget about those people who have less then you. This life in itself is a gift that Allah Mian gave us, and each of us has the power to make a change, no matter how small or big but we should consider ourselves conductors of change. This outward appeearance that we have can chane can change in an a split secnd but what we bring to this world through our inner self will not and should not change.So what we are not the beauty queen/king , so what we dont have a billion dollar…in this ever increasing world of increasing 'wants" we may be behind..but this life is given once and can make a difference in the time we exist.
Now Im going on and on..I should have wrote it in my blog:cb:
