Humanism

What makes us human, all too tragically human? Our ability to, even in our weakest of moments, rise above ourselves. We, as humans, are able to take what we are, and make the decision to be other than that. No beast is able to do this. Mere animals are as they are, and nothing more. They are only able to change through what is external to them. We, however, are able to make the conscious decision to change. When we make that decision, we always have two options. We can either rise above ourselves and shine, or we can lower ourselves. We must always keep this in mind. We must make that decision at all times. We can never falter. We must continue to strive in the way of Allah, and never look to the left or the right. We must head steadfast on the straight path. Continue to climb! Rise! Become what you were meant to become.
