We Are Placing  Much Importance To Our Image

The eagerness to have a good image and  outlook is not something new. We have been running after this concept all the time.   How we look from outside (how the others see us),  whether the dress we are wearing matches the latest fashion trends, our hairstyle, its colour, our make up and the similar points seem to  be  the stones that build up our image.

However, only a few people think of   stepping into the advancing technology of  this age, to change the daily words of life and  to add new concepts to the existing ones. It is interesting  that  this abstract picture  cannot be  accepted as a change of image.

It is understood that this concept is perceived in a different way.

What I am trying to tell here is that one should grasp this image in his very essence.

If, we go on  living without knowing this truth, then it would be more suitable to name this as ‘’getting adapted’’ or as a ‘’fashion trend’’ instead of  a (new) image.

If, we do not go deep down into the source of  the problems I do not think that there can be a change of image and  I cannot accept (the opposite).

THE PERCEPTION PROBLEM

My Dear Friends!

The members of  a  group with a different capacity and talent  are  living as if  they are standing on the edge of   a knife due to their structure, dynamism, age and mentality.

It should be understood that an individual self  who can talk, who has the capacity to make decisions needs time in order to realize  the certain objectives that it has set for itself and to make certain choices.

Only, by doing so the human beings can start to change and start developing.

There is no doubt that due to reasons which cannot be understood/perceived the surrender in Islam is getting lesser  and this causes the fire of  faith in believers to fade away.

Unfortunately, some events influence  the people who do not have enough experience in life  very much and lead them to behave in a perverted way and threaten others.

For this reason the Koran is  warning the people with belief  several times and inviting them  to have unconditional faith.

Therefore, it wouldn’t be wise to oppose the ones who have been influenced much or  to  show a meaningless tolerance towards them and accept everything that they do.

The ground is getting more and more slippery and in order to maintain the balance of  power it must be taken into consideration that there may be a problem pf  perception/understanding in the individuals. Therefore, in order to bring this to light it should be taken into consideration that time, tolerance and change should be in harmony.
