📚📚📚📚

Always watch, always be aware, always watch yourself, watch how you react, watch how you think, watch the kind of thoughts that come to you, while the music is playing, while you're meditating. Be aware of all these things and the more aware you become the more you disappear.

- Robert Adams

🔴 The difference between "wish & hope

🔸Wish is most commonly used in hypothetical (or imagined) situations:

🔷I wish that I had a dog. (I don't really have a dog, but if I did, I would be happy.)

🔷I wish (that) you were here. (Unfortunately, you're not, and I miss you.)

🔸Sometimes wish is used in greeting and expressions of goodwill:

🔷We wish you a "Merry Christmas."
🔷They wished him "Happy Birthday."
🔷Wish me luck.


🔸Hope can also be used in expressions of goodwill, but the grammar is slightly different:

🔷I hope (that) you have a Merry Christmas.
(some time in the future)

🔷I hope (that) you had a nice Birthday.
(some time in the past)


🔸 Hope can be used to specify a desired outcome. For future hopes, the possibilities remain open, but for past hopes, the outcome has usually been determined already.


🔷I hope you can come to the party on Saturday.
(future possibility)

🔷I was hoping that you would come to the party.
(but you didn't make it)

🔷I had hoped to see you at the party on Saturday.
(but I didn't)

🔷I hope to get an A on the exam.
(it is still possible)


🔸Wish and hope are also used in certain types of requests and pleasantries. In such situations, wish carries a more definite and formal tone.

🔷I wish to see the doctor.
(right now)

🔷I hope to see you again.
(anytime in the future)

Imam Ali (peace be upon him):
"I am astonished at one who looks for a lost item but when his soul is lost, he does not look for it."

📘 Mizan al-Hikma, vol 7 - p 163


امام على عليه السلام:
عَجِبتُ لِمَن يَنشُدُ ضالَّتَهُ و قَد أضَلَّ نَفسَهُ فلا يَطلُبُها!

در شگفتم از كسى كه گمشده خود را مى جويد، امّا خويشتن را گم كرده و آن را نمى جويد!

امام على عليه السلام:
إذا كَتَبتَ كِتابًا فَأَعِد فيهِ النَّظَرَ قَبلَ خَتمِهِ ، فَإِنَّما تَختِمُ عَلى عَقلِكَ.

هنگامى كه چيزى را نوشتى، پيش از مُهر و امضا كردن، آن را مرور كن؛ زيرا بر خرد خويش، مُهر و امضا مى زنى.
📘 غررالحکم، حدیث 4167


Imam Ali (peace be upon him):
"When you have written something, recheck it before signing and sealing it because what you are actually validating is your intellect."
