It is amazing how powerful to play with terminology. For example, what is the different between stubborn and istiqamah?
Well, a Menteri Besar in one of the Malaysian state may offer an explanation;
“Stubborn means defending what is wrong. When we know something is wrong, but will not back down, that is stubborn. But when we know what is true, what is right, that is istiqamah”
It is a very good explanation, but there is one tiny problem. How do we differentiate between right and wrong? Even if we feel that something is right, how do we know that we are right? If others says that we are wrong but we say that we are right, does it mean that I am ‘more right’ and the others are ‘more wrong’? Is it (the determination of right and wrong) a subjective or objective test?
It seems that it more questions than answers…
