Never Too Love Or Hate
World Education - khan35.blogspot.com
Do not be
too fond of the one you love is not necessarily one day he will be your enemy
otherwise you shall not hate your enemies one day he will not necessarily be
the person you love
The above
are the words of Imam Ali bin Abi Talib karamallahu wajhah summarized in the
book Nahj Balaghah.
In living
life we always have people who love even our loved ones too. We love our
spouses, our families and our friends. Love it so high up that if one day when
they leave, feels a deep sadness.
Similarly,
the hatred. Usually we also have people who hate both because of his behavior,
the relationship is not well in the past, as well as various other things.
Sometimes the hatred is so great that a person feels happy if the person who
hates to get the accident, even due to excessive hate to hear namaya we already
do not like let alone met.
To go back
to saying that Imam Ali at the top, he was taught to be mediocre even we are
required to position themselves in the middle of when love and hate soseorang. We
may love someone but one day turn into hate. Or vice versa is a time to hate
someone we love. Humans should aspire, but still the future is something
supernatural in his knowledge.
Speaking in
a broader context, love and hate this shall apply also to many other things in
life. We love the hard-earned treasure collected, we love the vehicle to be
proud of, we also love the children as the successor to the offspring. What if
one day what we love is taken back by the owner? Should we grieve or so to keep
smiling and take off with full compliance?
Man never
knows what is best for himself before God opened a personal secret for each
person. Often we feel something is good but maybe worse. And instead we feel
something is bad when in fact good for us. Good and bad is often measured by
our lust and passions. What we think is good because it is fun and what we
think is bad because it makes it difficult.
Good and bad
is often measured by our lust and passions. What we think is good because it is
fun and what we think is bad because it makes it difficult.
This is
where religion is taught to take a stand in the middle. We love something
because it may not yet know the ugliness in it. And we hate something because
it may not yet know the goodness in it.
If explored
further, what is presented in a person, good and bad, joy and sorrow, love and
hate, actually all derived from a single source. Everything is God living in
the present life. If all the guests present were his, then naturally be treated
with respect as worthy and welcome guests in our daily lives. Create an
enlightened people, something that is pleasant and unpleasant things are
basically the same. It will not make them too merry or too mourn the arrival
and departure.
Therefore,
if the days are not bad, a situation that makes resentment, the attitude of
people who are not in place, do not rush to blame anybody. Probably because it
was a "guest" which must be accepted and served. Similarly, if
through the day a comfortable, easy for the sake of convenience, not too fast
asleep. Perhaps because it is also a "guest" who came to the test.
May God
teach us to love and hate something right. In closing, let's look at the verse of the Qur'an Sura Hadiid [57] paragraphs
22-23 below:
"No misfortune that befell the
earth and (nor) to you (nafs) itself but has been written in the book (Lawh
Mahfuz) before We bring it. Verily it is easy for Allah ".
(We describe
such) that you may not grieve for what escapes you, and that you do not get too
excited about what is given him to you. And Allah loves not any arrogant people
who pride themselves again.
nice and good
