Many often get stuck in the web of mental destruction involuntarily. The first step to untangle oneself is to realize himself. Admitting the faults in what he is emitting. Envy and jealousy are enemies of contentedness. The viscous cycle of jealousy hinders intellectual progress. That is not to say that nothing good could come out of jealousy but if it did almost certainly it would be for the wrong reasons. Acts are based on intentions. Always asking oneself truthfully “What is my intention of doing this action?” is a good way to know our intentions.
Prophet Mohamed (pbuh) said (my translation of a portion of the Hadith)
Seek not materialistic things in this life The Almighty will love you, Seek not what people have the people will love you.
Anger is an immortal enemy of rational thinking. It blinds the mind. Avoiding anger at all costs could produce favorable outcomes. Being a stranger to anger reduces the danger from an unfortunate incident with a ranger.
A man asked prophet Mohamed (pbuh) to advice him; he replied thrice “Don’t get angry.”
Letting one’s heart be filled with hate reflects badly in social communications. Asking oneself the reason of hating anything could provide insights on how to manage it. Higher awareness reduces hate. Hating fate will not cause what is coming to be late.
Being a hardcore intellect requires minimization of all these traits. Growing one’s thought requires fewer distractions from such qualities. The continuation of progress is dependent on them.
