This is kind of true too. If someone were to chase after both these aspects, then he would be a successful Muslim.
 
^ exactly. we should have balance. each thing has its own importance, either dhikar or ilam.
 
Salaam,

Number 5 applies to me. If someone makes me very angry, I smile and look happy, a bit too happy. Only my mom knows that I'm really angry, especially when she hears me punching the wall when I go to my bedroom.
 
I am mostly Western (no surprise there) but I do have some Asian tendencies. I hate conflict in particular and I try to avoid showing outward emotions.
