Few years ago, a bunch of coworkers tried to hit on my self-esteem using their offensive sense of humor.
Basically they started joking about something very silly, pulled me in it and then stretched it for another couple of hours until it got on my nerves. Obviously I got irritated and impatient. When I expressed that I’ve had enough of this, they were like ‘Osman why are you being so serious, we’re just having fun’.
Next thing I did I slapped them hard and said “See I am having fun too”.
But I didn’t do that. I forgave ‘em.
So why bring this up now.
Because Ramadan is around the corner. And I wanted to remind MYSELF a few things on this occasion:
1. This month, try forgiving others. It aint about skipping meals only. It’s about purification of body AND soul.
2. Forgive your body. Don’t punish it by thrusting meals upon meals upon meals into this tiny little chamber popularly known as stomach.
3. How about forgiving fellow drivers and pedestrians. Yep, don’t let an empty chamber be the reezun for over-speeding.
That’s all for now.
Osman S.
P.S If thou art fancying the idea of losing flab while fasting, clicketh here.
