"I wanna be free like a flying bird"
I blieve each and everyone of us have this thought came across our mind for at least once in this life. It must be great to be like abird, flying freely in the sky. They dont have to think about anything and just fly anywhere they want to.
But is it true that it is good to be free like a bird? Do you think being a bird is much better than be a human? Dont you think that a bird also have their own hurdles to overcome? They might be worry about their life, can they be able to bring some food for they child at home. They must be worry about their child, how their small birds going to survive if they being shot by the hunter on the way they came back home. They must be worry when it is raining outside, how their house would be, how they are going out to survive?
See, everyone have their own difficulties in life, either men or even birds. But eveyone face different obstacles in their life. But what makes the difference is how we overcome it. SOmetimes we might see they have a wonderful life and how fortunate to live in that kind of situation. But I believe, all those are wrong. We wont know it untill we face it ourself. Maybe when we are in their shoes, we are not able to face it like they did. And only then we are sorry for the thought we have before. Just like Allah said,
لاَ يُكَلِّفُ اللّهُ نَفْسًا إِلاَّ وُسْعَهَا لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ رَبَّنَا لاَ تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا رَبَّنَا وَلاَ تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِنَا رَبَّنَا وَلاَ تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لاَ طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَآ أَنتَ مَوْلاَنَا فَانصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ (2:286
2:286 (Asad) God does not burden any human being with more than he is well able to bear: in his favour shall be whatever good he does, and against him whatever evil he does. O our Sustainer! Take us not to task if we forget or unwittingly do wrong! "O our Sustainer! Lay not upon us a burden such as Thou didst lay upon those who lived before us! O our Sustainer! Make us not bear burdens which we have no strength to bear! "And efface Thou our sins, and grant us forgiveness, and bestow Thy mercy upon us! Thou art our Lord Supreme: succour us, then, against people who deny the truth!"
I know life is hard enough, but actually we can overme the problems. We might think that it is too heavy, but do rely on person you have in life, trust them. They might now be able to help you, but every one need friends and just by sharing it the burden you have might just become even lighter. But the best way is to go back to where you come from, Allah. Rely on Him cause he know everything you suffer. Ask help from Him. Dont stress yourself, and dont dream of becoming a free bird cause it just like running away from your problem. Stay still, be confident and you will be alright. Once you have overcome it, you can overcome hundreds other obstacles ahead. Cheers=)
