A believer should not be stung twice from the same hole!
To be precautious and prudent is a Prophetic directive, especially when dealing with those who have been proven deceitful and dishonest.

Make your mark in your society
It is a great deprivation and evident loss for a person to be just a number in the long list of humanity during this life and after death, having no weight in the values of moral code and no contribution in ethical legacy.

Engage in Dialogue before You Argue
We were sitting together, as we do every Saturday, with our voices echoing throughout the house when my father interrupted our usual banters with his serious high-pitched voice, saying: “I would like to make an announcement that is very important for all of us, and I would like to listen to your suggestions on the matter afterward.” He added:..

Our Relationship with the Universe
