    Beaten but not Defeated

    I'm fired, again in one month, or shud I say 3 weeks?
    And though all odds are against me I can say, it wasnt my fault
    But then, who would believe me? Why should I bother if someone didnt?
    I've lost my job, that's it..... I give up

    For 4 years I fought against the odds, dreamt of beating the system
    Which I obviously couldnt, not now..... to many on my mind!
    Trying to finish my Masters... writing a thesis
    Trying to work full time, or a bit more
    Attemting to create some start up business, helping out friends
    "Doing" some politics, in the twisted moment of Dutch history
    (politician killed u know.....1st time in 400 years, revolt is near)

    Now I bow deep...... very deep

    My parents offered me an escape, which in our culture is unique!
    I'm offered to return home, shame is my part?

    In my opinion I witness a twisted lesson of God.... and I feel blessed
    I can taste the love of my beloved family and I can rest
    Dedicate my current time to do 1 thing only
    Then after a few months, inshallah I return much stronger, much wiser
    So in stead of being sad, I feel happy, even though tears are in my eyes!
    Dont think I cry of sadness.... it's the beauty of this life which I can see now!

    Alhamdulillah

    salam,
    don't worry too much about the job! It's all Allah's will and and there must be something good lying behind it which we cannot see! For the very near future, think about having a whole lot of free time during Ramadan which starts in like 6 days! InshaAllah you will find another job, a better one within a month or so! Allah always compensates a believer's loss with something better!
