Why do we do this?

Why do we do this?

14-Sep-2023

I want to thank Mangus for writing this.

I’m at the beginning of my journey and have been asking myself a similar question.

I to feel inclined to battle demons. An earlier version of this was just that. Now I fight not because I want to. I tell stories not because I need to. I do these things because I hope that my successes (however few) and my failures (far too many for my taste) can serve as lessons for others.

Because of my wading deeper into Islamic Psychology and Spiritual Purification I feel it necessary to put all of these experiences in context. To reflect back on the lessons learned (or at least the ones that should have been) and to project forward a better version of myself and (hopefully) help others do the same.

It often seems reading about others struggles with the same or similar challenges as us allows us to look at our own lives anew. When their stories can share victories or hard won truths it allows us to course correct without all of the associated pain and suffering. Allaah knows best.

I won’t beleaguer the point further, but thanks again for showing what this journey could be.

Onwards & upwards!
