Times of troubles


To live in a complete continuous monotonous peace of mind is quasi impossible during this earthy living, whether we are very wealthy, very wise or very religious. Troubles arise every now and then and give us beside the stress, anxiety or sadness, a special philosophical taste to life and existence. But when troubles, come together at the same time, especially when they are dispersed in many directions but centered around the same person, then the situation is really mind-bogging, nerve-wrecking and awful. It is even more complicated when you have to deal with a multitude of uninvited problems at the same time, single-handed and with no assistance at all. This is what I am living in now. And to add more to the tragedian circumstances, there is not a single answer to solve any of the problems, and even when I am trying to treat a point, often there is a secondary side-problem that arises. Then either you lose control of your nerves to lose then everything, or you stand up on your own feet to face the reality, with open-mind, calmness, and courage.
To have faith, doesn't mean that we neglect the problems and indulge in amusements and let everything in its ways, like the renown Arabic verse of poetry wrongly advised us. Active involvement in trying to analyze the particular problem and drawing many scenarios of the outcome, do provide relief to our nerves and aid in the real solution. Living the moment and not lamenting or ruminating the problem inside our mind all the time, is helpful. If we can solicit assistance from one or more trusted person, this will be an asset that can support us. We have to convince ourselves, that we are doing our best, and not waiting for a complete ideal solution, but to try is an honor in itself.
As long as we are breathing there will always be a hope, whatever were the piles of obstacles, we can overcome them and in the end can get through those bad rough times of troubles.
