so much for family
I love my family, but if its one thing they've taught me its that money is predominantly important, that if your own blood needs help or needs a break it is not essential that you give them what they need. Imagine you're given the chance to help someone in your family, make their life a little easier, solve a problem of theirs.. Imagine you had the means and the ability to help them and didn't, completely passed off the opportunity, completely left them to be fed to the sharks. This is the poor example my family has set for me, with the exception of my dad. No matter how busy he is, no matter how hard it is, or seemingly impossible, if he can help he will and if he thinks he can't he'll still try and if he fails, you best believe he'll come up with another way and he has. To hell with the example of everyone else, that is not how i'm going to treat my family or anyone i claim to love, not now or any time in the future. I will not abandon them when they need me most, i will not say no if i can say yes, i will follow the example of the only person i think, no, the only person i know is right - my dad. Remember that material things can be broken, worn out, money can be wasted, cut into pieces, you can have a lot or you can have a little, you can run out or you can get more, but at the end of the day what the hell does all of that mean if your loved ones aren't happy, if they've had to pay the price? And what will it mean when your laying stale in your grave? You cant take your fortune with you, that will mean nothing to God, will help you none on the day of judgment, but you can take your good deeds you committed in this life. We need to be more merciful towards others, help them if we can, when we can - how can we expect Allah (swt) to show mercy towards us on the day of judgement otherwise..? I don't get it, how can a stranger show more kindness than your own blood, how can a stranger be willing to help more than your own flesh, how can someone stand by and watch their son, their brother, their daughter or their sister, their grandchild or their cousin lose everything, how can someone sit back indulging themselves, not a care in the world, while their family hurts, while they're made to go through torture..how can anyone watch them beg for mercy and not do a damn thing to help ?! I really thought that when the going got tough, your family would not be the people who got going, who'd run away the second you were in trouble, and not even because they want to save themselves, no, that i would get, that i could understand, i would not blame you for that but we're not asking you to risk anything for us or go out of your way for us; we simply need your help, simple help, you could easily help and you know it, but you wont, you refuse to, but fine, thats okay, we dont need you because we will get out of this mess, you'll see, and it would have been without any help from you. Just dont think that your 'kindness' will ever be forgotten.
