Not enough

 

Hi Natty!  How are you, Honey?  I hope you're feeling great and having a marvelous time over there.  Please keep safe and healthy OK!

It's rare that I find new music that I absolutely love.  Thundercat put out "Funny Thing" a couple of years ago, and I only found it last week.  I love it!  It's a fabulous song!  That bass line speaks to the heart, you can hear it talk.  What does it say?  "Oh boy oh boink!  Oh boy oh boink?  Oh boy oh boy oh BOINK! BOINK! BOINK! BOINK! BOINK! BOINK!"  The lyrics express the same deep emotional connotation.  But the problem with this song is that it's too short.  It's not enough!  Just like my finances.  So some other guy made a 10 hour version of this song.  How awesome!  Yeah my finances are not enough to be married, that's for sure.  Allah commands that we marry, right?  Allah allows that I marry a woman of MY choice, right?  Those who can't afford to marry must wait until Allah provides them with the means, right?  Does that mean I must have my wife and family to live in poverty like I live now?  Does Allah forbid that I have wealth enough to give my wife and family a good life?  Am I supposed to wait until the next life to be married?  Sure, families kill each other over materialism.  They also kill each other over lust and jealousy.  Remaining poor is no escape: Allah will test your wealth AND your humility.  Death is when the test ends, and if Allah loved you then perhaps your life on earth will be OK.

Of course I'm grateful for what Allah has given me.  Knowledge is a magnificent thing, and it was EARNED.  Look at the size of these giant curry pups compared to my fat fist, stuffed with beef, eggplant, onions and curry spices.  It was more than enough for dinner.  In fact, it was dinner for two.  You can have the smaller one, Natty.  And praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds.
