Despite much deterrence you arrive at a juncture in life where stalemate looms and monotony governs your lifestyle. Crisis ensues, desperation follows and your panic ridden self scampers to unfamiliar territories to find refuge. Primal Wisdom dictates that "There are NO shortcuts in life" but ironically every time we happen to chance upon one, we hesitantly stop and ponder our options. Sometimes I wonder whether the malice that overwhelms our societies is vigorously fashioned by this perpetual, foolish & abysmal pursuit of the highly elusive “Shortcut”.
Hard work scares everyone.
Wouldn’t you rather mint money in the luxury of your pleasure dorm than toil under the blazing sun?
Wouldn’t you rather amass the swift riches than wait ages for your just dues?
Wouldn’t you rather swindle the poor soul than labor under a tyrant boss?
Wouldn't you rather live the Good life than gawk at it on the telly?
It takes a minute to kill your conscience, your faith, your morals and your principles..
It takes a minute to become the eternal hypocrite..
It takes a minute to destroy your fortress of fortitude & perseverance..
It takes a minute to fall into the evil world that you forver abhorred..
Every time I find myself inclining towards one of these “Shortcuts”..
I take a minute to remember that no matter whoever I swindle I can never deceive HIM
I take a minute to reiterate to myself that whatever we do we cannot conceal ourselves from GOD
Not even for a single minute..

this is soooo true!! and i must admit , i am only human, and i did recognise..... that i sometimes i have thought about taking 'shorcuts' too... but thats what's sooo good about being a muslim - it reminds u about what ur priorities are.
Indeed temptation is always prevelant, and it is at those forks in the road that we are truly tested.
