Imprisoned by my own desires!!!

Its like opening your eyes and watching the world for the first time... its like "Alice" discovering a whole "Wonder Land". Its like when your mom splashes cold water on your face when you aren't getting up for office in the morning... its like we have lived a lie all our life and truth starts from here... its like tears, laughter, joy, heartache... its not an answer to your question, but its like provoking more questions against one question. its like lost in the ocean's waves... its like living again.

Today I finally came to know that the things i desired most were a mere lie to me... they did not matter as i thought they would... and may be im now imprisoned in those stone walls, may be my desires were not those which a person should expect from life. & now when i wanna escape, there isnt a way out!

everyone is imprisoned... before i share mine, i would like to know about my readers. Please share your desires which have imprisoned you... and we will have a poll among the 4 best answers.

Waiting for your responses :)... do share !!!

  1. "The one who is (truly) imprisoned is the one whose heart is imprisoned from Allah, and the captivated one is the one whose desires have enslaved him."
    -Ibn Taymiyyah-

    I'm imprisoned
    by school,
    by culture,
    by photography,
    by football,
    by the internet,
    by technology,
    by songs,
    by Hollywood,
    by delicious food,
    by the NBA,
    by sports,
    by fun,
    by money,
    by desires,
    by life...

    The things I like and love are actually traps which imprison me from Allah's path. My desires enslave my soul and i get distort from the right path

    Freedom is just a few rejections and steps ahead. Let us conquer life, rather than be conquered by it!!

  2. imprisoned in such a way that never knew the good bye i said to a handful of people almost 7 years ago was going to be for that long...the desire of wealth and goodlife has captivated from so many things i cherished and desired for..
    imprisoned in the thoughts that one day will come when my first and only love will be someone else's and i would not be able to do anything about it..
    yea its true, somethings that you think mattered so much to you are suddenly of no value to you, but again life has different phases, not everything worths the same in every phase
    so yeaa ...
