He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying.

Once having passions you called them evil. Now however you have nothing but your virtues: they grew out of your passions.You laid your highest goal upon these passions: then they became your virtues and delights.And though you were from the stock of the choleric, or of the voluptuous, or of the religiously frantic, or of the vindictive:At last all your passions grew virtues and all your devils angels.

My brother, if you have good luck, you have one virtue and no more: thus you walk more easily over the bridge.It is a distinction to have many virtues, but a hard lot: and many having gone to the desert killed themselves, because they were tired of being the battle and battlefield of virtues.

Behold how each of your virtues is covetous for the highest: it longs for your whole spirit to be its herald, it longs for your whole power in wrath, love and hatred.Jealous is each virtue of the other, and a terrible thing is jealousy. Even virtues may perish from jealousy.He who is encompassed by the flame of jealousy, at last, like the scorpion, turns the poisonous sting toward himself.Alas, my brother, did you never see a virtue backbite and stab itself?Man is a something that must be surpassed: and therefore you shall love your virtues - for you will perish from them.

Have you ever known, my brother, the word “contempt”? And the anguish of your justice in being just to those that despise you?You force many to think differently about you; that, they charge bitterly to your account. You came near to them and yet went past: for that they never forgive you.You go beyond them: but the higher you rise, the smaller do you appear to the eye of envy. But the flying one is hated most of all.

And be on your guard against the good and the just! They would rather crucify those who create their own virtue — they hate the solitary ones.Be on your guard, also, against holy simplicity! All that is not simple is unholy to it; it likes to play with fire and burn — at the stake.And be on your guard, also, against the assaults of your love! Too readily does the recluse offer his hand to any one he meets.To many you may not give a hand, but only a paw; and I want your paw to have claws.But the worst enemy you can meet will always be yourself; you ambush yourself in caverns and forests.

“The worst enemy you can meet will always be yourself.”

What it Really Means to Be Rich

The biggest paradox of life is that we give more value to the things we can replace (materialism) than to the ones we can’t (health, family, and relationships).Falling for the money trap means always wanting more and never being satisfied.Remember that money solves money problems, and if you have not developed a strong mind you will end up with problems you cannot solve.

The Money Trap

<ul><li>Invest in experiences, not in objects.</li><li>Donate to those in need.</li><li>Become a minimalist with what you possess.</li></ul>

How to Really Become Rich: More Than Just Money

You've probably seen my articles floating around here on Deepstash and this article is the rawest article I've made so far since I started this account.My personal goal was to digest things that I want to learn and I just used technology to help me out and I'm just sharing the things I've learned that technology helped curating.I'm here to be a proof that machines and artificial intelligence is an ally and if used by the right hands, it helps humankind understand things faster than trying to find the information themselves.This is the only article purely written by me.

Why am I here?

By sharing ideas that actually benefits me personally was just something that came out of the blue. I was tinkering around AI and I saw its capability of helping me create the persona that I want to have and this led to push through with my plan of leaving a legacy.As a person who works in tech, I know for a fact that techn is here to stay and will surpass human capabilities tenfold given the right conditions. With digital permanence, I'm using this to leave snapshots of my life that would hopefully affect someone in a positive way even when I'm no longer around.This is how I leave a legacy.

The Legacy Plan

Bored Karbatos' image in the digital realm is not planned. It was created through a series of interests that I spent time on in the past few years. This name became my internet persona especially in Web3. I also use this in games as my IGN. This way, I could separate this version of me from the real me. I want these kind of articles to only reach who needs to be reached. I'm only putting out a number of raw articles like this across the next few weeks and if you want to read more stuff like this, make sure to follow and hope that you enjoy the next raw article I'll be making.

Why don't you post more of these?

I just feel like this whole platform is too flooded with info that is supposed to be beneficial but for me, it lacks content like this where the writer just talks about things like an actual human being who just wants to connect.That's why this article is special to me. I usually just write down my thoughts in Google Keep and just keep them there for me to read again when the right time comes and I just realized why don't I share it to the world instead?

Why are you opening up now?

I don't care about clout. Yeah sure, I promote stuff here hoping one you guys buy and I get comission but so what? I'm here trying to make ends meet just like you. I'm just trying out new ways to make money because no one else is doing it around where I live. That's why this article is here. This is just a reminder that sure, most of my content here is about making a list of things that make sense but apart from those content, there's an actual human being behind the account. I don't care if no one reads this but if someone is, I hope that you appreciate my thoughts.

Psh, this is just for clout isn't it?

I've been practicing freewriting since I was in high school and looking back at the amount of content I've generated throughout the years made me realize the value of the information that my mind has. I write down ideas, questions, patterns, observations and even random stuff that I just thought about while staring at the ceiling and none of these where going out in the world. As I grow up, I realized that everyone else is like me. Your mind doesn't stop either it just that you don't write them down.By sharing my ideas to the world, I hope that you share yours too because you have a lot.

My Mind Doesn't Stop

Wow, you're still here! If you've come this far, I want to thank you because I know that somehow, someone out there have gained something from my experience I hope you share this knowledge to others and claim it as your own.Whatever you learn from me is yours to keep forever. Go ahead, share my philosophies and tell them it's yours. Keep the credit and you deserve it. The whole capitalist ideology and the concept of ownership has torn down our nature to share knowledge for free and I'm here to somehow embody the change I want to see. I just want the best for everyone and I hope that you do too

Congrats if you've reached this far

This whole platform is already filled with how tos and guides on how to live a more fulfilling life that we forget that we are humans that feel and not only here to earn and buy the things that we want. This article is something to remind you guys that an actual person is here trying to relate to you.

Never discourage anyone who continually makes progress, no matter how slow.

Plato's quote reminds us the importance of recognizing and supporting the efforts of individuals who are consistently making progress, even if that progress is slow. It encourages us to avoid discouraging or belittling their efforts, and instead to offer them encouragement and support as they work towards their goals.

People always wonder why Mona Lisa doesn’t have any eyebrows. This mystery has been solved, all thanks to an engineer named Pascal Cotte. When Da Vinci had painted Mona Lisa, he indeed painted her eyebrows but over time these eyebrows were eroded due to cleaning over time to the point where it’s no longer visible today.

The Mona Lisa has no eyebrows.

We have to break it to you that tongue is not the strongest muscle in the body. The tongue itself is a muscle and it contains at least eight different muscles which are intertwine by creating a very flexible matrix. The strongest muscle in the body is Masseter which is responsible for lifting up the jaw.

The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.

This is pure myth! Blink rates are pretty identical of both the sexes. Scientists have suggested that the interval between blink is nearly about 2-10 seconds so an average person blinks about 10 times per minute.Another interesting fact is that, we blink less frequently if our eyes are focused on one thing. For instance, while you read, you only blink three times per minute because while reading you are very focused.

Women blink nearly twice as much as men!

Made up of 30 short chapters, this book is a spiritually enriching reminder of the Creator's love, which increases through everyday actions by remaining consistent with unnoticeable good deeds.We will explore the qualities and characteristics Allah SWT loves, and how we may become people who are loved by Him.I have also included some Duas (prayers) eloquently put in writing by Omar Suleiman, the author of this book 🙏🏼

This refers to the constant effort and mindset of steering back to Allah.If we were created by God to return to Him in a state that is pleasing to Him, then to demonstrate our desire to be loved by our Creator, we should show caution with things that compromise that love.The most practical way to do this is that we stop ourselves from thinking, saying or doing anything that is displeasing to Allah, we stop ourselves because we know that the greatest consequence is distance from Him.

Allah Loves..Piety

Indeed, the greatest way to be loved by Allah is to show that we fear losing that love.

May Allah show us to never compromise our love for Him, and may Allah entrench within us piety, that God-conciousness, and may Allah keep us in His favour, Ameen.

This means that we actually become closer to Allah SWT than we were before we commited the sin, we become more beloved to Him by repenting.Allah SWT didn't create us to not sin. Being sinful is part of our humanity, and forgiveness is part of Allah's attributes. We were given free will to sin, and so penitent human beings ascend even beyond the angels in rank.Allah SWT created us to know how to deal with sin properly. We acknowledge our sinfulness even when intentional, and try to get back onto the path to Him. The word tawbah means to turn back to Allah SWT

Allah Loves.. Repentance

There is no such thing as a sin that can permanently disqualify you from the love of Allah, if you repent afterwards and use that to propel yourself towards Him.

It doesn't matter what we did in our past, because He guaranteed us a better future if we learn how to deal with that past, And that will propel us towards Him. We ask Allah SWT to make us amongst those that are beloved to Him in our repentance and in our sin, and in our good deeds, Amin.

God-consciousness is the stepping stone towards excellence. To do beautiful things is to honour the sight of Allah upon us to earn extra love from Him.This leads us to hold ourselves to higher standards, so that we may distinguish ourselves and become amongst those who are especially loved by Allah SWT.You see the love of Allah through all your interactions, whether its in your worship, your relationships, your work ethics - you do this because the degree of Allah's love that you seek is that much higher.

Allah Loves.. Excellence 

In the Quran, Allah describes 3 types of self:<ol><li class="ql-align-center">The soul that commands itself with evil, that indulges in evil.</li><li class="ql-align-center"> The soul that is accountable, the self of God-consciousness.</li><li class="ql-align-center">The soul that is at peace with Allah, that is the person of excellence.</li></ol>

We ask Allah to make us the Good Doer, who are at peace with the favour of their Lord, who will always find His excellent favour on the Day of Judgement, and be amongst those motivated by His love before anything else, Amin.

Angels have no choice but to obey Allah SWT whereas a human being goes beyond obedience, carrying out acts of voluntary praise, voluntary love and voluntary worship. Therefore, Allah SWT allows a human being to be elevated in His sight, to a higher rank even above the angels. The words which Allah SWT chose for the angels:"سبحان الله وبحمده سبحان الله العظيم""Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi, Subhan-Allah-il-Azim""How perfect is my Lord and may He be praised, how perfect is my Lord, the Almighty"

Allah Loves.. Angelic Praise 

This chapter reminds us that we are in a good place if we have the ability and the will to call upon Him. Knowing that Allah SWT loves me despite how broken I am, despite how sinful I am, despite how distant I am from Him, yet he loves to hear me, in that there is a blessing.Any time Allah SWT unshackles your tongue to allow you to ask, any time Allah SWT allows you to make a request, know that He wants to give you something because He wouldn't have allowed you to make that prayer unless He wanted to answer.

Allah Loves.. Sincere Supplication 

We can become trapped in the mindset of feeling too distant from Allah SWT, that we refrain from calling out to Him sincerely. However, know that calling out to Him is a way of closing that gap and actually reducing that distance.Shaitan (the devil) invites us to commit sin, which causes the distance between us and Allah SWT. Then Shaitan invites us to feel too ashamed to turn back to Allah SWT with tawbah (repentance).This chapter provides words of encouragement to uplift the mindset from a state of doom and gloom, to one of hope and self determination.

Allah Loves.. Those Who Are Trying 

We ask Allah SWT to allow us to always be engaged in the effort of purification, to allow us to reach better states, and to always allow us to be in the state of His love even as we fall short, being in the state of repentance and being in the state of making effort for our purification, Ameen.

May Allah SWT heal our brokeness, may Allah SWT see us in our weakness and make it a reason for strength, and may Allah SWT bind us closer to Him through those moments when we feel distant from Him. May Allah SWT allow us to be used and consumed in ways that are good and in ways that are pleasing to Him, Ameen.

Tears And Traces

This chapter highlights the torment we may face when consumed with doubt as to whether Allah SWT hears us, when things feel out of control in our lives.It provides a summary for observing three levels to being in a state of absolute trust in Allah SWT.Where there is mistrust, there cannot be true love.

Allah Loves.. Trust

We ask Allah SWT first and foremost to protect us from being unjust to other people, to protect us from being complacent about injustice when it is apparent to us, to protect us from doing iniquitous things, and from judging in a way that's faulty when we find parties being swayed by some other interests.We ask Allah SWT to not judge us by His justice on the day of Judgement but to judge us by His mercy, Ameen.

Justice 

This chapter explains how we should treat people in accordance to the excellence that we seek from Allah SWT.The Prophet PBUH shows us how we can be the most beneficial to the people:<ol><li>"They put a sense of inner joy into their brothers or sisters heart". They don't just smile at them, they give them a reason to smile aswell. They are emotionally available to people, and serve as a vehicle of Allah's comfort just as they seek that from Allah for themselves.</li><li>"They remove a debt from someone". If we amplify love, mercy and kindness to others, then we will recieve more of that from Allah SWT.</li></ol>

Allah Loves.. The Beneficial People 

This chapter highlights how we are required to be in a place of emotional strength so that we are able to help someone through an emotional vulnerability, to be in a place of financial strength to be able to remove someone's debt or provide for them in their difficult time of need.Don't ever be a person who is helpless. Pick yourself up and try to be someone who is giving rather than receiving, seek to be someone who comforts rather than being the one comforted.

Allah Loves.. Strength

We ask Allah SWT to never allow us to be in need of anyone but Him, to make us people who always strive for goodness and strength and make us a people who are independant of all things but Him, for surely upon Him we are always dependant even if we don't recognize it, Ameen.

Independence 

This chapter explains how we should implement a sense of protectiveness, of honour for our family, and of people. A husband and wife should be protective of eachother in a way that they would not want either to be abused or harmed.Allah SWT encourages us to act honourably, to protect and uphold the honour of our fellow brothers and sisters. Allah SWT loves healthy pride and protective jealousy, having a great sense of honour, tied to honouring the dignity of others positively, without letting it become a means of transgression.

Allah Loves.. Honour 

This chapter explains how we should carry ourselves with dignity, gentlessness, a calm manner. It explains how the Prophet PBUH maintained composure and a sense of collectedness in the face of insults. He showed us that Allah SWT loves gentlessness in all affairs.We don't have to be aggresive or foul to denote strength, rather those things are actually a sign of weakness. So ask Allah to place gentlessness within us even when the Devil tries to stoke our anger and cause us to depart from it.

Allah Loves.. Gentleness 

This chapter goes into detail about restraining ourselves, and approaching things in a calm manner, to not be hasty, but to be intentional about the things that we do, to have self control. If we have forbearance, we are able to excercise self control, to restrain oneself.One of the names of Allah SWT is Al-Halim, One Who is forebearing. Allah tolerates our weaknesses, our wickedness, He does not punish us right away but instead He gives us a chance.Haste is from the Devil, and deliberation is from Allah SWT.

Allah Loves.. Forbearance And Deliberation 

This chapter explains how and why we should adopt a superior work ethic in all that we do. Paying attention to the details, making sure we are doing things right, bringing the spirit of due diligence and excellent work ethic together. The Prophet PBUH said: "Allah Loves that when any one of you undertakes a task, they do it right".

Allah Loves... Due Dillegence 

The Prophet PBUH said:"Do the deeds that you are able to continue with. Take up things that do not exhaust you. Allah does not tire of your worship until you tire of worshipping Allah. The most beloved deeds to Allah are the small ones, if they are consistent".

Allah Loves... Consistency 

The Prophet PBUH said that the very first thing that we will be asked about on the Day of Judgement is the fiver daily prayers. He taught us to practice this fundamental pillar with consistency. Prioritising prayer in our lives shows that we are prioritising Allah in our lives.As he was passing away, the Prophet PBUH said: "Your prayer, your prayer and treat women well".

Allah Loves... Punctual Prayers 

This chapter goes into detail regarding the physical and spiritual levels of purifying oneself by performing wudhu (the purification ritual). The Prophet said that cleanliness is half of faith. He taught us to take care of removing impurities from ourselves and making sure that our wudhu is done carefully with proper supplications.

Allah Loves... Cleanliness 

We ask Allah to make us amongst those who are spiritually purified and physically purified when we go to meet Him for the sake of spiritual purification, Amin.

The Prophet PBUH said: "The most believed of places to Allah are the mosques, and the most hated of places to Allah are the marketplaces"."Don't forbid the female servants of Allah from the houses of Allah" because these houses of Allah are meant to be their homes aswell. Every single believer, even a child, is meant to regard the house of Allah as the primary home in their lives, the place that they go to for mercy, tranquility and for nourishment.

Allah Loves... The Mosque  

This chapter looks at a particular kind of love, love for Allah's sake. The brotherhood in Islam unifies people across race, class, social barriers, preferences and hobbies. It brings people together who may not have any friendship outside of something as powerful as Islam.They love each other for Allah's sake.

Allah Loves... Love

We ask Allah to make us amongst those who love and are loved for His sake and who are all brought together by loving Him and being loved by Him and that are shaded by His glory on the Day of Judgement because of His love for us and our love for Him, Ameen.

This chapter explains the importance of loving your mother, showing kindness to your parents, showing patience to them as they get older, as explained by the Prophet PBUH. There are no two people whom we can love for Allah's sake more than our parents.Allah has preferred the mother in a very special way. He has mentioned obedience to parents with obedience to Him in the Quran, that we worship and obey Him, and that we show similar level of kindness and love to our parents without ofcourse worshipping them or preferring them over the Creater.

Allah Loves... Your Mother  

"Truly Allah loves those who are pious, self-sufficient, and obscure" who are unnoticed by the people, who avoid the spotlight.It is a person who is quiet, does their service, does their worship, always greets people with a smile, who is barely noticeable in gatherings, doesn't boast and in fact they are gaining a special type of prominence in the sight of Allah.They maintain a low profile, remain quiet and have a sense of humility. They are not seeking their value through how other people see them.

Allah Loves... The Unnoticed 

The Prophet said:"Allah Loves the one who is generous when he buys, generous when he sells, and generous in repayments."The believers are more worried about being charged by Allah because they have wronged a person in business than making a little something extra. The Prophet PBUH explained that Allah is pleased with honest merchants and salesmen, with someone who doesn't cheat people or take anything extra.We see people selling tissue or other small items, it won't hurt us inshaAllah, to buy from them as a means of sadaqah, for the sake of honouring a person who is trying to earn a living.

Allah Loves... Generosity Of Trade 

The Prophet PBUH has such a comprehensive character, he gives us something to aspire to in every single aspect and element of our lives.We ask Allah to make us like the Prophet Muhammad PBUH to make us love him and to join with him under his love in Paradise, Amin.

Allah Loves.. Those Who Follow The Prophet PBUH 

"Allah is beautiful and He loves beauty."This Hadith speaks to the general mindset that we are supposed to have, especially relevant on Eid day.The Prophet said:"If Allah has given you a blessing, Allah Loves to see its effect upon you, so enjoy the blessing but don't be extravagant".Allah also says in the Quran:"Take your best appearance when you go to Allah's house". Don't boast or show off, don't attract envy. Mostly the people who are very paranoid about envy are the people who want to show off the most, who have the extravagant weddings and extravagant things, instead, be moderate.

Allah Loves... Beauty

This chapter goes into detail how Allah is loving, merciful and generous. We have a Lord who loves to be generous. Remember that we pray in the last 10 nights of Ramadhan "O Allah! You are forgiving and generous. You love to forgive, so forgive us."In the Quran, it is said:' Allah wants to lighten the burden upon you'.'Allah desires ease for you not hardship'.

Allah Loves... Acceptance Of His Gifts
