This hyper consumerism and over connected world of technology is taking to much from us. From our humanity, our compassion and soul. It’s turning us into numb indifferent objects. I lately have been struggling to live a conscious life, recall anything or be content. This evening I was reading a line or two from al Ghazalis book alchemy of happiness. It was talking about good character and akhlaq. I was wondering if we can acquire that despite the lack of proper circumstances. Can we as human beings. It is possible today with all the cruelty, genocide, torture, oppression we can still remain human and preserve good faith in humanity… can we develop good character in dark and despair?
