Black and blue moods

Why does the damp, dull weather make people feel blue ?

Why can't material comfort fill the void left by the missing people in your life ?

Why does food no longer satisfy appetite and just add to the weight in your stomach ?

Why does sleep no longer take away the tiredness ?

Why can't I find my niche ?

Why does the reflection lack that glow ?

Why do those words hurt even when they were said so flippantly at the spur of the moment ?

Why does technology hinder the quality of our communication rather than improving it ?

Why does the teacher want to quit teaching us ?

Why does money dominate motivation ?

Why does stepping towards fulfilling a lifelong ambition no longer feel like a joy ?

Ps.  Do you have the answers?

This is in general

the majority of people in this day and age have lost the true meaning of life, they do not know why they are here, what is their purpose ect ect ect
they have become slaves of society that dictates what they should do, what they should have acheived, what their goals in life should be ect ect ect
man has become like a machine running after material aspects of life, they have come so detached from the reality of life and from their faimlies driven by ambitions, greed, money and fame
its such a pity bcoz i have seen this attitude in many many muslims, they have lost so much and what they are trying to gain is just a waste of time, to me their lives are so empty
we dont look after our interanl bodies only the shell on the outside what we may be judged by. we dont sleep at the right time, we have a very poor diet with lack of nutrional value, dont exercise all these are reason thats leaves us feeling very tired and exhausted and leave man with the question why are we doing this. but man does not stop to think just carry on with the same process the next day and the following day

to break away from the cycle we have to change our outlook to life and decide where we want to be, what is going to be our future and most of all what are the important things in life?

Let me attempt to answer my own questions

[I]Why does the damp, dull weather make people feel blue ?[/I]
[B]Alot of people associate blue skies and warm sunshine with happiness so it boosts your good mood.[/B]

[I]Why can't material comfort fill the void left by the missing people in your life [/I]
[B]In the rememberance of Allah do hearts find rest....surah ar-raad ayah 28 [/B]

[I]Why does food no longer satisfy appetite and just add to the weight in your stomach ? [/I]
[B]Sometimes stress can cause lack of hunger and feelings of fullness. Or if you eat to much then you could feel like this too. [/B]

[I]Why does sleep no longer take away the tiredness ? [/I]
[B]Omitting duas and adhkaar before sleeping can contribute to this as well as a mild stress factor. Or maybe too much sleeping ? [/B]

[I]Why can't I find my niche ?[/I]
[B]Perhaps aiming to be a housewife is stopping you from making the most of your capacity as 'The Teacher'. [/B]  ;D

[I]Why does the reflection lack that glow ? [/I]
[BH]ow about trying to eat properly and saying alhumdulillah moreso because wallahi Allah has blessed you with much. [/B]

[I]Why do those words hurt even when they were said so flippantly at the spur of the moment ? [/I]
[B]Quite frankly, you always knew deep down that sticks and stones might break your bones but words will hurt forever.... [/B]

[I]Why does technology hinder the quality of our communication rather than improving it ?  [/I]
[B]The human senses need to feel emotions in order to reciprocate and respond to communication...Hence the thought why did I move here again ???  Was it the exemplary arabic courses - Allah give me strength. Next time think more about the bigger picture before you move house[/B]

[I]Why does the teacher want to quit teaching us ? [/I]
[B]The same reason we all feel like quitting sometimes, it is difficult being both student and teacher at the same time....Be patient and put more effort in - Allah is truly with the patient and it is a great virtue.. [/B]

[I]Why does money dominate motivation ? [/I]
[B]We are all human and poverty can push anyone towards kufr, hence the desire for wealth..Think of the analogy in the hadith - if the son of Adam had one valley of gold he would desire another one like it.  If money is desired in terms of the work one does via promotion that is permitted.  Do not lose sight of being content with what you have. [/B]


[I]Why does stepping towards fulfilling a lifelong ambition no longer feel like a joy?[/I]
[B]Perhaps you are forgetting that Allah created man and jinn but to worship him... [/B]

[B]If your ambition is in line with this and still you feel no more joy then maybe you are already thinking of the next thing that you need to bring you closer to allah....Marriage is half your iman [/B] :D
