My dad always says, they can't all be wrong can they?

..learning to grow up is very hard.

People will never stop peeing you off.. But you are only accountable for the choices you make.

Allah swt will be the one to tell you the truth of all that you did.

Don't get trolled to death.

...don't become smeegle!
 
Well, you do seem to have a lot of time on your hands, being angry and all without people in your life.
 
Getting angry at the internet is one of my favourite hobbies...

So I can kinda relate.
 
Emotions, senses, desires, mind and conscience are all part (I may have omitted some) of the gift that comes in this world. The choices we make are ours.

Strength is within. It is not about the results. Not at all. It is about your resolve and action.

To combine all those gifts that make life so rich, I have also successfully controlled my emotions from a very young age. I'm like an elastic band, emotionally. Never allowing myself to get too happy or sad. I also knew that I make who I am, now and the future, nobody else. As I learn, no internet those days... it was only recent. So knowledge was hard to get.. but I knew life is a test. And anger is tiring. Resentment is tiring, even more so if it is not used to spurr you into something better but instead sit there and burn inside.

That was a test, you failed!

You were angry as a muslim, you said, are you not a muslim now? Still angry? It feels to me that it has nothing to do with the deen. You're just an angry person.

But if you are still very young, I think you are thinking way too far ahead into a world you really don't know. And worst still, decide the fate of your entire life based on teenage uncertainty, moulding your coming years on your negative understanding..

Why don't you explore what these years have to offer. It is a learning period, so LEARN, don't decide already what is good or not. That is stupid. Before you do it yoy're already saying no, it is hard, I'm not going to like it, so, what are the chances of success? Almost zero. Then it fails, See? I told you! Self fulfilling prophecy. Plenty of that, it soon becomes, "Oh, I'm such a failure.... " blah blah blah..

Go out, live! Remember Allah. Discover yourself and learn how to serve Him in your life. Still do things and learn.

There is no gain at all to harbour anger. Let it slip through your fingers and toes and get on with the blessings (and trials) of life, you will find it very nice.. why? Because you have peace of mind.


:peace:

Yeah, the reason I replied I was angry as a Muslim too was because Sabr seems to think all problems arise when you become non-Muslim, which is ignorant honestly.
 
Ok... how does that contribute or relates to what I was saying?

I did say, you were angry as a muslim, so you are not a muslim now, but still angry, so I reckon it has nothing to do with the deen. You are just an angry person, no? What has that got to do with what Sabr said? I don't get it.

Yes I do admit I can get angry and maybe it's something to work on. Also sometimes you feel the anger and it's great to let it out.
