Greek philosophy departs from the assumption that we can understand the world autonomously using our rational faculties. Islam is not saying this.
I have either a cucumber martini, gin martini, or a vodka martini. That's it. Simple.
Time goes on. So whatever you're going to do, do it. Do it now. Don't wait.

I always go back to how people behave. If you watch how people actually behave in a situation, it's very simple and honest and contained. You don't need to use as much expression, as much feeling.
