Comments on: On Motivation http://fatimahye.muslimpad.com/2008/06/02/on-motivation/ Islam, Philosophy, Art, Politics, Relationships, Insanity Fri, 19 Mar 2010 13:18:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Mohammad http://fatimahye.muslimpad.com/2008/06/02/on-motivation/#comment-629 Mohammad Mon, 23 Jun 2008 06:52:16 +0000 http://fatimahye.muslimpad.com/?p=126#comment-629 Thanks for starting an interesting debate. Whilst the language is a little blunt, it does successfully ask Men to account for their actions given their Responsibilities. These responsibilies do not merely come as a result of Testosterone and are not absolved by it either. Any Man thinking singularly with his testosterone shouldnt be trusted - which some would say causes temporary madness. Testosterone should be a tool - a vehicle - a horse - under the control of Man. Paradoxically, the inverse takes place and the Horse is actually riding the Man instead of the other way around. Chivalry makes the man - testosterone helps in developing it - its a tool, not the goal. Thanks for starting an interesting debate.

Should we not have a certain level of modesty in speech with each other. Modesty is not only about covering our awra. Please forgive me if I offended anyone as this is not my intention, but just a reminder to us all.
