Sufi Quote

True happiness comes from gaining insight and growing into your best possible self. Otherwise all you're having is immediate gratification pleasure, which is fleeting and doesn't grow you as a person.

Payback

 

There are many good things
that will happen to you,

some people often tell me.

 

All you have to do
is this…
and your troubles are all gone.

 

You’ll also go to heaven
after you die
and live there for eternity.

 

And the price is so cheap…
… you’ll never find a bargain
like this in nature.

 

believe it to be true

and hope for the best

it may or may not happen


but, hope is what you get for sure.

without it, you get mentally crushed
for nothing.

Politics...

1. One of the mistakes most Muslims make is they don't read or understand the Quran. It's the supreme guidance from the Creator and has survived for the past 1400 years. They revere it, but don't read it in a language they understand. Many memorize it, but don't really know the subject. It's true that similar traits are there in other religions too, like Christians, Jews. Hindus, etc. And other religions have sensible things to say too (I've read a few of them), but there's nothing like the Quran. If Muslims read and understand the Quran, they'll really be on top in this World, instead of being pushed around.

2. So now President Trump is angry at Putin. I'm afraid he'll realize that Putin is a strong person. Stronger than him, in my opinion. And Putin seems to have ideas on how he'd like to resolve the Ukraine war.
 
3. There are three reasons Evangelical Christians support Zionists: 1. There are 8 Biblical verses that support Jews out of 31,102 verses in the Bible (but even these are not entirely supportive). The real reason is the 'end of times' prophesy that says Jesus will come back when Jews are in Jerusalem and convert a third of them to Christianity to be followed by the end of time. 2. Zionism was started by British Christians (it's the latest version of The Crusades). Very soon it was adopted by the Jews. 3. In reality, Evangelical Christians hate the Jews in private and want to separate from them.

Recent Movie Reviews: Blue ones are good!

* Sector 36 (Netflix) 2024. Hindi. Very well done for a Hindi version of a crime story. Interesting to watch.

* Little Siberia (Netflix) 2025. Finnish. A bit confusing flow of story. No wonder the Finnish people hare the happiest people in the world!

* Squad 36 (Netflix) 2025. French. Excellent movie. A bit slow at times but a wonderful experience to watch.

* A Copenhagen Love Story (Netflix) 2025. Somewhat of a female-worshiping film. At times a bit boring.

* Midnight in the Switchgrass (Netflix) 2021. Very well done mystery about a serial killer.

* Sicario (Netflix) 2015. Fabulous movie! Great actors and very well directed. A pleasure to watch. 

*Trial by Fire (Netflix) 2018. Excellent movie. Based on a true story and wonderful acting!

* Gone Girl (Netflix) 2024. A thoroughly boring movie. African love story with the same rituals seen elsewhere.

* Queen and Slim (Netflix) 2019. Nice one. Good suspense movie and fairly good dialog. Realistic picturizations.

* Hurricane Season (Netflix) 2023. A very boring movie. Strange characters.
* The Buckingham Murders (Netflix) 2024. Done fairly maturity for a Hindi movie. Enjoyed watching this.

* Believer (Netflix) 2018. Korean. Very violent and not very focused. Not very good to watch.

Master your Attachment Style – Scott A. Young – 4 Stars

Worth Reading

I liked how intelligently the author reviews this subject. Relying on the latest thinking, he establishes what an attachment style is and goes through each one in a very reasonable way. He addresses strength and weaknesses of each and lays the foundation for you to determine where you are. There are a couple of theories that I did not agree with. One is laying a lot of blame on the parents. The second one is about self-love, which I find very distressing. It is like chasing your own tail! Other than this, a person will learn a lot by reading this book.
