Small things could plunge

Maybe you've heard this saying: The higher the tree the greater the exposure to the wind. The higher the position the more successful a person or a person the greater his trials. But that does not mean only the major trials that would "disturb" us, with the temptation also wary because it could make a little complacent.

I've found the story of a monkey hanging from the tree. What happens when a big wind came to the tree? The monkey will not hold very strongly that fall. But when the wind came a gentle breeze, he enjoyed the breeze blowing up asleep in a tree. Preoccupation sleep and eventually made him forget holding also fell.


Example it has many meanings. First, small tests that come complacent and it can make you fall. Most of us might have said, "Ah, it's small and can be overcome." Something small but constantly going on and allowed to happen to ruin the lives and beliefs of others.

An employee I daily use the money for his personal business. It is small, only one sheet, two sheets he took money that was not right. The result, as long as 4 months he is using tens of millions of dollars. The trust he had built for working with me devastated. Not only that, he also lost his job. Though his life is on the rise with the result that he obtained from the job.

Second, small sins committed over our lives can also be dropped. Many people are kept away from Allah SWT slowly. At first he clung to his religion, then become a permissive (allowing a lot of things wrong). Finally, he was familiar with the things that compromise. Ironically he was not guilty.

What happened later times? Bribery is considered charity or gifts. Dare to take the treasure unlawful by reason rather than used by other groups. Involved doing something wrong by reason of an emergency. Justifies by saying, "The system is already so." In these circumstances, we are actually deprived of Allah, slowly but surely, but many are not aware of.

In essence, we should be vigilant at all times, introspective and should not be complacent. It is indeed a great loss if we slowly toward the brink of collapse and error but we are not aware of it. Beware, little things can ruin your life and plunge ...
