إن الأطلقة( كآلية تفكير تسود فضاء التفكير العربي من دون تمييز بين تراثي وحداثي)- وليس سواها- هي ما يحيل تجارب البشر من تاريخ حي إلي نص أو أصل جامد يقف خارجه; علي النحو الذي يكون معه أشبه بالشاهد المصمت المعلق علي قبر صاحبه, والذي لا يعرف الخلف اللاحق إلا التعبد في ظلاله. وتلك هي جوهر الممارسة السلفية; علي أن يكون معلوما أن هذه الممارسة لا تقف عند حدود من يقال أنهم سلفيو هذا الزمان, بل تتجاوزهم إلي من يقال أنهم حداثيوه أيضا. و سواء مورست هذه الأطلقة, تحت يافطة الدين أو العلمانية, فإنها تمثل خطراً داهماً علي الدولة. ↗

There is no justice in the laws of nature, no term for fairness in the equations of motion. The Universe is neither evil, nor good, it simply does not care. The stars don't care, or the Sun, or the sky. But they don't have to! WE care! There IS light in the world, and it is US! ↗

مساكين اهل الدنيا خرجوا من الدنيا ولم يذقوا طيب نعيمها ،فيقال ماهو: محبة الله والأنس به والشوق الى لقائه ومعرفة اسمائه وصفاته ↗

Let me put it this way: You cannot live in the world without being in pain, spiritual and physical pain. We have developed mechanisms to deal with these pains, to overcome them somehow. Therapy, religion and spirituality, relationships, material success. All this can work, but also become a problem itself. The pursuit of happiness has even been put into the American constitution a couple centuries ago. Today we're so rich, we own much more than we need, we have liberties unknown before, even though they are endangered in the current political climate in the US - and we forget how wonderful it nevertheless is, compared to most other political and economic systems. We have a saying that goes: Give a man enough rope and he hangs himself. ↗

We are not as Christ-centered and cross-cherishing as we should be, because we do not ponder the truth that everything good, and everything bad that God turns for the good, was purchased by the sufferings of Christ. ↗
