There is no absolute concept of reality. It can be subjective or objective. We have the power to choose how we want it to be.<br /><br />I agree with you Sorrow on everyone having a drug. You have put this concept beautifully. However it is when we try to stereotype drugs and associate it with something pure unnecessarily, then it becomes wrong. This again is an opinion and a perception, my view. I do like the idea of everyone having a drug that you suggested, and honestly I believe it's very true...<br /><br />Regarding life being black and white, life is full of colors too. Start seeing them and maybe reality will change from a curse in to a blessing. I definitely hope so =)Amnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04319092578356756640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4898951270470236482.post-15985566366005662102011-02-07T09:10:09.183-08:002011-02-07T09:10:09.183-08:00Subjective lives create subjective minds which nev...Subjective lives create subjective minds which never have objective ability to judge each other. But most of them believes in they are objective enough to do this. What a pity that none of us, without exception, have ability to see reality as itself. Life is objective as much as black and white but we are blind and not intelligent enough to realise that single truth…<br /><br />With that perspective there is no shame to accept that something is your drug. Everyone has a drug, which is neither chemical nor physical, to cure their mind and to protect mental stability. Some are strong enough to make themselves even happy with it… absolute happy. For some i t is a piece of belief/faith, for another it is a piece of love… maybe hidden in a melody, in a painting, in a prayer or maybe even in a flower at back of garden.<br /><br />Off course, it is not good to see only “white side” of the world. But it is definitely necessary to not to see “black side” of few things. This unique personal drug even protects person from realising the “black side” of several crucial things and boosts the essence of happiness. <br /><br />One I had believed that realising the “black side” of everything and living without this personal drug is a proof of a strong intellectual mind. But I was wrong, since it is just a curse… reality itself…Sorrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06590736729408084821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4898951270470236482.post-13978364004411765362011-02-05T16:20:14.442-08:002011-02-05T16:20:14.442-08:00Thank you Sibte for your prayers for mom, and also...Thank you Sibte for your prayers for mom, and also for liking my writing style. I will definitely let you know about any quotes I come across. Try reading Rumi, his teachings may help you get a better knowledge about Sufism which you can then hopefully share with your cousin, and maybe eventually inspire him to see the beauty in the concept of Divine love.

(do let me know if you figure out any quote from Quran, and tht is not for my belief but to shut mouths of others).<br /><br />And may your mom's soul rest in peace.
