WHY DO ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO AN END?

Lover for Ever

Saudi Arabia

hi there everybody…

so Nelly Furtado said : " FLAMES TO DUST, LOVE TO FRIENDS, WHY DO ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO AN END ?"

so I decided to ask everyone about something good that came to an end?

WHAT is the WISDOM BEHIND CALAMITIES SENT BY GOD?

Almighty God sends calamities and inflicts tribulations; is this not tyrannical towards the innocent in particular, and animals even?

T h e A n s w e r : God forbid, the sovereignty is His. He holds sway over His possessions as He wishes. Moreover, a skilful craftsman makes you a model in return for a wage and dresses you in a bejewelled garment that he has most artistically fashioned. Then in order to display his art and skill, he shortens it and lengthens it, measures it and trims it, and he makes you sit down and stand up. Are you able to say to him: "You have made the garment which made me beautiful ugly. You have caused me trouble, making me sit down and stand up." Of course, you cannot say that. If you did say it, you would be crazy.

In just the same way, the All-Glorious Maker has clothed you in a most artistically wrought being bejewelled with faculties like the eye, the ear, and the tongue. In order to display the embroideries of various of His Names, He makes you ill, He afflicts you with tribulations, He makes you hungry, He fills you, He makes you thirsty; He makes you revolve in states like these. In order to strengthen the essence of life and display the manifestation of His Names, He makes you journey in numerous such conditions. If you say: "Why do you inflict these calamities on me?", as is indicated in the comparison, a hundred instances of wisdom will silence you. In any event, calm, repose, idleness, monotony, and arrest from action are forms of non-existence, and harm. Action and change are existence and good. Life find its perfection through action, it progresses by means of tribulations. Life manifests various actions through the manifestation of the Divine Names, it is purified, finds strength, it unfolds and expands, it becomes a mobile pen to write its own appointed course; it performs its duty, and acquires the right to receive reward in the Hereafter.

Hello !

 First of all, I have never listened to this song, but it seems to be nice…

 I want to ask you: have you tried to interpret the meaning of these words? Can't you see how they are related?

 Personally speaking, not only good things come to an end, bad things also have an end..

 Our life is actually built on dual things : happiness/sadness , good/bad , dark/light , life/death , sweet/bitter…

 These can never separate : they influence our life and come to us in turn, sometimes together , just to teach us things and lessons like it's only God who is everlasting , it's our duty to thank Him for everything He has given us , it's the least thing we can do when we welcome all because it's destined by God..

 Try to imagine how you will feel if you only live good things , how you will feel when all your time is filled with bad things…

 I am sure your question has evoked in many persons nice feelings of belief in God and fate..

 Something else, none has answered your question because , I think , none remembers what or why and when the last good thing has ended , simply because they live such things many times a day ..

 Good Luck for you..

Good things have an end to rebuild better future. To enlighten u. To elevate spiritually. To understand the real meaning of Life.

    Well, a good thing comes to two ways. One is the end, and the other one is the worse of it. If knowing that the good things 'round you would never come to an end, who would really appreciate their beauty? When knowing that they're never gonna fade away, who would hold 'em tightly?

The feeling of losing the beautiful make us more cherish the good. 

You can't help wondering that how wonderful things turn out!!
