Protect yourself from your own thoughts

“I think it’s beautiful the way you sparkle when you talk about the things you love.”

“It bothers me that no one has the patience to deal with someone who is just sad.”

“Du’as are accepted when one does istighfaar and tawbah first.”

the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible

What is the most important step a man can take?

I think part of the pushback about this is the idea that, to “redeem” bad people, their victims must first forgive them for unforgivable acts.
