The stupidity of evil, and the evil of stupidity

You know, for men, I I don't know about women, can't speak about women, but for most men the truth is most men are bewildered. Life for them is like racing through a maze in the dark, bumping into dead ends, doubling back, trying to find their way, frantic under pressure, racing against time, you know, all while necessarily acting like they know exactly what they're doing. Necessarily acting confident, necessarily acting assertive and certain and so forth. Even when they haven't got a clue what they're doing. They haven't got a clue where they're going And this is actually one of the ways in my opinion, how and why men become doers of evil, you know.

It's almost like they think every opportunity must be taken, every open door must be accessed and anything that seems like an accomplishment must be an accomplishment, even if it's bad. You know. He takes whatever whatever comes to him with no discernment, no discretion, no discrimination because he can't discern, he can't discriminate because he doesn't even have a clear understanding what he's supposed to be building. You understand? So even if haram opportunities come to him, takes Even if haram relationships comes to him, he takes them.

You know, he does something wrong and if he gets away with it, then he does it again. Then he does again. Then he does worse than that, moving like a blind shark. Hustle hustle hustle, you know. Get money, get women, get fame, get attention, get this, get that, no matter how you do it.

Lie, cheat, steal, con, it doesn't matter. And you know that this is all Shaitan, this is all from Shaitan and he becomes like Shaitan. You know how the Jinn are made of fire, and Shaitan is a jinn, well they're they're they're made of fire and then the man starts acting like fire. He has the same qualities, volatile, impulsive, wild, out of control. These aren't the qualities of a man.

Nabi Adam was from the earth, was created from the earth, the clay. Well clay is solid, It's still. It's stable. It's not volatile. It's adaptable, but it's not volatile.

Fire burns and clay cools. It's sturdy. A man should be solid. He should be as solid as the earth itself, but he can't be solid if he doesn't know where he stands. Once he knows where he stands, well he can't be moved.

Well, you'd have a better chance of trying to move a mountain, than trying to move a man who knows his place in the world, who has a place to stand. You can't move that man. But if you do see a man who knows where he stands, who knows his place in the world, then you ought to assume that he went through a whole process to get to that point. I mean, you'll hardly ever see a man, an older man anyway, who's upright. Except that he hasn't he he's someone who has survived his own sins and the consequences of his sins.

When you see that old uncle at the front row of the masjid who's always there for the salah, at the at the front soft, well, he probably knows more about the devil than you know about your own self. Every old righteous man is a combat veteran. I mean, like almost any man my age. Me myself, I've been all sorts of bad in my life and I've been good too. Depending on who you are and when you knew me, you might love me or you might hate me and you'd both be justified because I've been all sorts of things.

But now more than anything else, what I am is experienced. And for me personally, I just wanna avoid the stupidity of evil as much as possible except to point it out when I see it.
