The ticking time bomb
The ticking time bomb
The ability to stop, find the faults, repair them and moving forward is an important trait to embrace. When we stop taking pauses, and stop looking at the faults, we only further the faults. A small noise in our moving car, turns into a major breakdown. A small noise in our equipment, turns into a major problem over period. Things when left un-noticed, believing it is all going to be fine, normally ends in losses.
Same is the case of humans. When they find a fault, let it go unnoticed, they are only furthering the fault. Slowly the fault becomes a significant habit, and one day it collapses the human body. It can be a collapse in the shape of physical loss, or mental health loss, or reputation loss.
Slow addictions of telling a lie, smoking a cigarette, cluttering our desks, acting lazy — turns into our identity. And we end up betraying someone, hurting our neared ones, or end up promoting a fitna / or a wrong openly. These actions, make us feel lighter and in control temporarily, but with short term pleasure comes long term pain.
Consistently negating the truth, is like holding a ticking time bomb. Any moment it can explode to shatter our entire world.
