This Is How The World Is

Marcus Aurelius, one of the more wise of the Roman Emperors stated one day:

"Today, I shall meet people who speak much, who are selfish, loathsome, and who love only themselves. Yet I will not be annoyed or bewildered by them, because I don't imagine the rest of the world to be any different."



-from the book, Don't Be Sad by 'Aidh ibn Abdullah bin Al-Qarni. Such an enlightening book.

It's a non-fiction and it tells about how one must not despair because of Allah's presence. It cites some Qur'an verses as well as legendary men's wonderful quotes and experiences. :D
