a piece of flesh.

end of day 76.

and the warm weather does not bother me at all.
at times.

today.was a relax day.because today i did nothing but relaxing.
i don't feel like going out.not just yet. :)

so i predict.tomorrow shall be another relaxing day.
in other words.it does not take a psychic to know.that i will again be lazy.

so a talk with a friend cleared everything.and he promised that everything will be fine.and i shall trust him this time.
because it seems.i have nothing else to put my trust on besides God and a friend.

and today..as i was relaxing.in other words lazying around.i found a nice phrase from a book written by an author and spoken by a Prophet pbuh.

"...Indeed there is in the body a piece of flesh which if it is sound then the whole body is sound,and if it is corrupt then the whole body is corrupt.Indeed it is the heart"

i have known of this phrase before,but not until today i finally understood what it means.
and today became a day full of questions and answers.

the first question that came into mind is.

what is actually heart?
i spent years in school learning that it is that particular flesh situated above the left side of diaphragm just below the left chest.
and it pumps blood to keep a Neb alive.and it is the medium for us to refer to things related to emotions.

but a second question came.

if it is there,then why do most of us when asked,when we experience anger,sadness or joy, why is it we don't feel those emotions at that particular spot?why is it different each time? and that is a question i still haven't found the answer.

another question came into mind.

a heart that pumps blood can affect the whole system of the body.and that is true.scientifically.
but if a heart is also used as a medium for us to experience emotions,we can say,sadness can make us sick and joy can make us healthy.and if we switch it around.sadness can make us healthy and joy can make us sick.how so?

now from there.i realised.
like how i used to see things.only at its surface and never deeper.shame.

i came to understand that.the logic of science can explain just a fraction of the wonders of heart.but the rest is explained through the understanding of the belief in God.

well basically,yes.a heart can give effects to the body.physically.in terms of science.but a heart can also give emotional effects which is then translated physically.causes of actions.

and from here.i answered my questions.with one anwer.it is the emotions felt by the heart that determines the outcome of one's conditions.

sick or healthy.
sad or joy.
corrupt or pure.
agitation or peace.
dirty or clean.

so today.it is our emotions that we feel control the outcome of what our conditions are.
and how we define that particular emotion.

a joy can be healthy and a sadness can be sickening.
but God is fair.both can be switched.
a joy can be sickening and a sadness can be healthy.

again.depending on how we DEFINE it.

when we choose sadness as our emotion.did we choose it for the right reason?did we define it based on the right cause?
because.from here i realised.when I'm sad over the matters of the world.i become even more sad.leading to unrewarding actions.and this is the point where i see sadness as sickness.

and different when i get sad over my countless bad behaviours to God.and sad over all the disappointments that lead myself astray from God.the more i feel it.the more i think about it.the more peaceful i get.and somehow with a thousand words i still could not explain it.and that is how I see sadness that leads to healthiness.healthiness of soul,mind and body.

again.

when we choose joy as our emotion.did we base it on the right cause?or did we say our thanks to the right One? because from here i realised.when im in the state of joy,i tend to forget God even more.and that joy vanished into thin air the minute that i thought it came not from God but from the things of the world.and from there.it simply became pseudo joy.and there lies sickness behind it.

and different when i experience joy towards God's sustenances and remind myself that it is from Him those things came from.i experience more joy.a joy that i could not again explain by words.

and today this is how i view the meaning of

"...Indeed there is in the body a piece of flesh which if it is sound then the whole body is sound,and if it is corrupt then the whole body is corrupt.Indeed it is the heart"

the flesh as the emotion that we feel and the right definition of it and the body as the result of the actions we took and we felt from the emotion itself.

so when the flesh controls the body,the emotion controls the action.
and the action determines where we stand at the end.by the side of God or million light years away from Him.

so today.that was Wednesday.a few questions asked.and some are answered.
but now i know.to be able to feel is our nature.but to be able to control what we feel determines what we are.
simply healthy.or simply sick.

so i pray today.may you all have lead a healthy Wednesday and may it be even healthier for tomorrow. :)
