Al-Muhasibi
This selection is almost comparable to the wise Muhammad's words (to me). The opening quote is exactly what I was referring to in my last post. If a man does not love, he does not see. He does not have wisdom because he has not experienced heartache. That brings me to one of my favorite quotes, in the book, Les Miserable. "Those who do not weep, do not see." ONce you have had your heart broken, and your spirit broken, you realize that there is knowledge to be had. I feel that you can not acquire this knowledge, however, without God. God is good. But funny in that he will not just 'show you the way.' Especially if you have pride. Man can not be happy if he walks through life thinking he is the one who is responsible for himself. If man has the love of God, he will let the pride down and accept true beauty of the world and another man's heart into his world.

I liked, too, that he talks about our pride getting in the way so much. God won't just beat us over the head with things- he'll let us struggle and stumble over ourselves again and again!
Fantastic blog. Great quote from a great play. I agree with everything in here. Well done.
