Be People of Principle

Like all other articles, this advice is for me first before it is towards others.

About 10 minutes ago I was walking towards the coffeeshop to take my usual nightly kopi break, when I chanced upon this cat.

This cat was alittle thin, its hair was alittle dirty, and its surroundings were alittle hostile…

But the cat was licking itself away. Despite the conditions, it was cleaning itself. It was doing what it had to do, not because of reward nor glory… but because it was following a principle. Despite the conditions.

So now then, for cat’s sake, let’s be people of principle as well.

“Verily! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, and the ships which sail through the sea with that which is of use to mankind, and the water (rain) which Allâh sends down from the sky and makes the earth alive therewith after its death, and the moving (living) creatures of all kinds that He has scattered therein, and in the veering of winds and clouds which are held between the sky and the earth, are indeed Ayât (proofs, evidences, signs, etc.) for people of understanding”
