Anger
Anger is a fire
Burning beneath you skin
Sapping your soul of the goodness
That you hold within.
A cancer destroying your spirit,
The source of many foul deeds
And many, many thoughts all-wicked!

I am a sinner. I think I have made this pretty clear. But even as a sinner I tremble with (extra) foreboding at holding any hatred in me for anyone or anything. It makes me disconsolate and discontented, you see.

| This, I am not. I am fat but I hope my fattiness is transitory and will go away if only I pray really, really hard. I savoured this dream for a long time until an ancient friend suggested I pray while jogging 2 kilometres a day. He said God is sure to answer my prayers then. I don't like my friend very much. |
I would like to say that I am hate-free, no-Trans-Fat, sugar-free kinda fellow. But I am on the err... plump side of the weighing scale, I have diabetes and I can entertain hateful sentiments like the best of the haters.
But if hatred does pop up like a hateful boil on the landscape of my soul, I try to take immediate corrective measures. I consider the other person's point of view and his/her antecedents. I also weigh my own faults and see how I came to this hate-filled conclusion. Often enough I am able to attain some sense of perspective and the hatefulness drifts away like a grey pall cast over the Shore of Love - a mere temporary glitch in the Matrix of Mercy. And of course, as a One-Size-Fit-All-Problems-Solution I ask God and the Prophet(pbuh) to help me rid of the hate within me.

Hehehe. A crab can always dream, don't you agree, sunshine?
wa min Allah at-taufiq
Hate has no place in Islam
Love will show the Way
