What a wonderful world!

A Fable and a lesson

Aesop's fable, the "Thirsty Crow" was a favorite when I was in elementary school. The crow was really in need of some drinking water, and it dropped pebbles in the pitcher so that it could drink when the water level came up.

That story actually taught me to stick to my goal, no matter what happens. Even a crow, when in need, might be able to do anything to get what he wants. I always liked the direct morals given at the end of the stories.

There are times when situations become extremely difficult to handle. One has to invest even the last drop of energy to get to the finish line. But being a Muslim woman, I always believe that Allah listens even if I whisper something to myself. Allah knows that I'm in a hard situation, but Allah will never put me in a situation I can't handle.

I hate the situation in Gaza. it's really depressing to see people wounded and dead every day. I can't bear to see children in pain. Islam never supports violence, so why are Muslims being targeted all the time?
