When the Israeli leaders launched their expansionist war in June 1967 they never envisaged that 40 years later they would still be haunted by the consequences. ↗

But I also think all of the great stories in literature deal with loneliness. Sometimes it's by way of heartbreak, sometimes it's by way of injustice, sometimes it's by way of fate. There's an infinite number of ways to examine it. ↗

Let it be stated clearly that mysticism is an a-rational type of experience, and in some degree common to all men. It is an intuitive, self-evident, self-recognized knowledge which comes fitfully to man. It should not be confounded with the instinctive and immediate knowledge possessed by animals and used by them in their adaptations to environment. The average man seldom pays enough attention to his slight mystical experiences to profit or learn from them. Yet his need for them is evidenced by his incessant seeking for the thrills, sensations, uplifts, and so on, which he organizes for himself in so many ways--the religious way being only one of them. In fact, the failure of religion--in the West, at any rate--to teach true mysticism, and its overlaying of the deeply mystic nature of its teachings with a pseudo-rationalism and an unsound historicity may be the root cause for driving people to seek for things greater than they feel their individual selves to be in the many sensation-giving activities in the world today. ↗

I think most people will tell you that. They can go along and, while they're denying that they are addicted, say it's stress this, it's this, it's that. But I - it's - I think - I really believe there is a gene. Some people become addicted and others don't. ↗

Islam says, “People are born with innocence but they are taken into world of sins by their surrounding society”. Sins are learned experience which makes people to go away from mercy of ALLAH. Sins block people’s mind to understand the principle concept and philosophy of ALLAH behind the creation of man and devils. Consequently, people used to live in an ocean of sorrow and within everlasting tears. They have senses to only judge their life by now but not the most regrettable things in the future. People believed that the only solutions for miseries of life are money and music, but they are mistaken that ALLAH is the Giver of Life and the Most Responsive to people’s needs. They are Mistaken that ALLAH is The Most Powerful, The Irresistible, The Bestower, The All Knowing, The Most Merciful, The All Praiseworthy , The Lord of Majesty and Generosity, The Wise and The Most Glorious. ↗

I'm just confused as to where we lost that in America because it is everyone's God-given right to think the way they think and that's fine. That's why our ancestors came here to America, to believe what they want, pray how they want and follow a religion with whoever they want. ↗
