I once wrote something about myself, but it started a riot in my hometown. So I chose to do something different.

Choices. They're really cool huh? Yup. Choices, they sure rock. Choices are one of the few occurrences which befall us every single day of our lives. Cool, for some. You can choose to do something as simple as getting out of bed in the morning, or afternoon, whatever that's cool with you. But a simple choice like getting out of bed can lead to many things, most times the washroom. However, choices are very relevant in our lives, people often forget this.

You can wake up in the morning and choose to do something you enjoy, driving perhaps. I love driving, that's why I said it. But there are also choices you need to make which pretty much suck. Like going to the doctor or dentist. With each choice we make, there's always a result.

There is a saying in Physics (it's probably a Law, I wouldn't know, I barely passed Physics in high school) that reads "with every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." I don't know if there is a way to say it in simpler terms. Everything you do has a result. Guess I just said it. This simple yet immensely important saying can dictate whether you live your life consciously, understanding that you leave a footprint wherever you travel, or like an animal, a zoo creature, a raccoon which knows nothing but foraging through garbage, feeding its simplest desires.

Allaah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in surah-al-Hadid, "Know that the life of this world is only play and amusement, pomp and mutual boasting among you, and rivalry in respect of wealth and children, as the likeness of vegetation after rain, thereof the growth is pleasing to the tiller; afterwards it dries up and you see it turning yellow; then it becomes straw. But in the Hereafter (there is) a severe torment (for the disbelievers, evil-doers), and (there is) Forgiveness from Allāh and (His) Good Pleasure (for the believers, good-doers), whereas the life of this world is only a deceiving enjoyment." (Al-Hadid 57:20) The choice of living this life only to fulfill your simplest desires will have its result. The same can be said about choosing to live a truthful, God-fearing life comprised of Ihsaan, Imaan, and Taqwa.
