🔻Is it enough for people to be tired of oppression or for tyranny to reach its peak for the Saviour to reappear?
🔸One common, uninformed impression about the #Reappearance is that it is enough for people to be tired of #oppression or for tyranny to reach its peak for the #Saviour to reappear; and, there is no need for people to be ready for accepting #justice.
🔸However, forming a just government among people who are only tired of oppression but cannot tolerate justice will not be a lasting government at all.
🔸When people insisted the Commander of the Faithful, Ali (‘a), accept the caliphate, the Imam refused. The basic reason for his refusal was that although people were tired of oppression, they did not want justice. They could not understand justice and its necessities, nor could they tolerate them. There is a great difference between these two.

🔻What can we do to have a correct way of looking at things?
Good tendencies give us a correct outlook and bad tendencies give us a wrong outlook!
🔻A person who is indifferent about right and wrong will have a wrong outlook.
👉🏼 Perspective (9)
Some say, “In #scientific discussions, we should put aside our #tendencies and be neutral so that our #outlook will not be influenced by any tendencies. Otherwise, we will not understand the truth!” However, a person’s opinions and outlook are definitely influenced by his tendencies.
🔸Having a correct #perspective is dependent on a person’s tendencies and likings. Bad tendencies give a wrong outlook to a person and good tendencies give a good and correct outlook to a person.
🔸When they say, “Do not allow your tendencies to influence your scientific evaluations,” they mean wrong tendencies. However, one should allow his good and correct tendencies to have an effect.
🔸Some good tendencies and some #truth_seeking open a person’s mind and better his understanding. Increase your tendency towards the truth so that you may have a good understanding! If you are a truth-seeking person, you’ll gain a correct outlook.
🔸If a person is indifferent about right and wrong and loses his sensitivity to #oppression, God will deprive him of the power of understanding and his outlook will become corrupted. For example, if a person is indifferent about the murdering of Muslims in Myanmar, when he studies this crime, he will not come to a correct result or viewpoint.
