Excessively Conscious

We know so much, we feel so little"

The 2nd line is very true. Many of us are really not much better off than zombies.

hmmm ... however, we should not be too hard on ourselves. there is this concept of hope and Islam is a religion of hope.

God has never given up hope, and therefore, neither should we :)

I note your words. However too often we (myself included) are so caught up in the world that we do not spend enough time to stop and smell the roses. We often conform to society's ideals as to how we should lead our lives and fear throwing caution to the wind. Sometimes (perhaps just sometimes) I feel we should let our hearts rule our minds.
