First and foremost I would like to apologize if this entry offended anybody particular.
How do you define a religious person? Is it just the deed a person do only for the next world and neglecting the 'world affairs/responsibilities' ? When I mean world affair/responsibilities, I refer to our responsibilities for occupations, society's economy / progression and all.
Or can't a religious person balance out both his world and the eternal place responsibilities? Why would I bring this issue? Well the thing is....
I see this society have trouble balancing deeds. One scenario happened when a person dedicates himself only to the deed of the eternal place, he has to bear with all of sorts of tests ( 'oppression', luxuries and etc.) It's his choice. From what I see today, the number of people who chose to live this kind of lifestyle is on the rise. It's their prerogative.
On the other hand, some other chose to balance out both responsibilities. It's a struggle and not and easy task to juggle both from what I understand. These people work hard and some may be quite wealthy and hold top posts.
What I despise is that when their hardworks have paid off, some of the people whom chose the first lifestyle would slander these successful individuals. Some of the common words;
1. "Oh he's rich! Bribery involvement perhaps?
2. "He's got a top post in the government now!! Look at his luxurious lifestyle and compare to the poor citizens. He must have been mining the people's $$!
3. Because of his position now, this person must have forgotten his responsibility to his Creator. Let's elect our kind to lead our nation.
People .... (speechless) . These are just pieces of my mind:
A) If some claim themselves to be religious, why would they throw such statements without bringing forth any prove.
B) Whose decision was it to determine how you lived your live? You've got only yourselves to blame. Think about it. People have got kids and family to support. If you were in his place, would you be generous enough to give away all your wealth for the sake of all your people whom refuse to work hard? A part of sacrifice is fine, but to give away all..... you decide.
