🔻We are not forced to do everything we do; however, we are not completely free either.
🔻A devilish movie is the one, which lies about us being able to change all realities.

🔸In religiosity or planning for our lives, we are mostly in pursuit of finding out how we should behave. However, before planning for these parts that we “should” do, we have to look at the moments when we are not in #authority. We should pay attention that in many affairs we do not have any #choice at all. It is obvious that we are not #forced for our actions, but we should pay attention that we do not have complete authority either.
🔸The truth is that we cannot #change many things. Even the things that we can change, the amount of the change that we can make is limited. The Commander of the Faithful, Ali (‘a), said, “I came to know Allah, the Glorified, through determination being broken, by difficult problems being resolved and by ambition being lost.” [Nahj al-Balaghah, saying no. 250]
🔸Sometimes, a devilish movie tells a story, which results in strengthening a person’s arrogance. A devilish move is not necessarily a movie that contains bad scenes. Rather, it is a movie that makes us neglectful about the realities that are surrounding us. Furthermore, it lies to us and tells us that we can change all #realities.
🔸During recent years, some methods for spiritual training have become popular. They say with seemingly energetic, inspiring words, “You can change everything, and to do this you can even get help from God!” This is while God Himself has said that you are not able to change many things. You can only change some things.
