Putting up with thorns
Submitted by Maulana Wahidud... on Mon, 11/26/2012 - 10:44If there is to be harmony within a community, the bad sides of its members must be tolerated, while their good sides are appreciated. If we want to pluck “flowers,” we have also to bear the “thorns” that come with them. There is no way that one who cannot put up with thorns will be able to possess the flowers of this life.
