Don't be Sad
Do not be sad ---The fundamentals of happiness
- Know that if you do not live within the scope of today, your thoughts will be scattered, your affairs will become confused, and your worrying will increase ---- these realities explain the hadith:
"When you are in the morning, do not expect to see the evening, and when you are in the evening, do not expect to see the morning."

- Do not be preoccupied with the future. Because the future is in the world of the unseen, do not let it bother you until it comes.
