Life is Two-Sided

Life is never one-directional. Every choice opens a door but silently closes another. You cannot embrace one side without letting go of the other, because every path in life carries both gain and loss, joy and sacrifice.

I was reminded of this truth recently when I saw a group of corps members moving together, laughing, gisting, and carrying on like old friends. Watching them took me back to my own NYSC days. But unlike them, my experience was different.

My PPA was a company owned by one of my beloved brothers Sheikh Muh'd Toyyib Bakare Bakinson. Out of kindness, he gave me accommodation, and it felt like home. After every weekly CDS, I went straight back to my comfort. I barely mingled with other corps members, not out of pride, but simply because I wasn’t around them often.

For most corpers, friendship is born from hostel life, sleeping and waking up together, sharing meals and sometimes hunger, laughing through discomfort, and building bonds in the middle of hardship. I didn’t have that. I had comfort, food, and a sense of security. But in exchange, I lost the adventures, the late-night gists, the memories that are often forged in the fire of struggle.

Sometimes I feel pained that I didn’t make those lifelong friendships or roam the community with them. Yet at the same time, I know I escaped the stress and hunger that many endured.

And that is the beauty and the pain of life. You can’t take comfort without missing experience. You can’t choose struggle without tasting sacrifice. Every gain demands a price. Every path holds its blessing and its cost.

The real wisdom, therefore, is not to regret, but to embrace both sides of life, grateful for what you gained, and at peace with what you lost. Because in the end, life always balances itself.

“متى نصر الله؟”
meant “When will Islam prevail?” not “When will we get wealth?” It was about faith, not finances

When the Prophet (SAW) and his companions said, “متى نصر الله” (When is the help of Allah?), they were not referring to wealth or worldly gain. Rather, they were longing for the victory of Islam, the establishment of the truth, the spread of the message, and the eventual return to Makkah.

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) was not a man of poverty. Any hunger he experienced was out of personal choice and humility, not due to a lack of means.

We Are All Selective Sinners

Human beings are complex, flawed, and full of contradictions. One of the clearest contradictions is how we view right and wrong. Rather than seeing them as fixed standards, we often adjust them based on our comfort, background, or benefit. This is what makes us, in a sense, selective sinners.

We do not all commit the same wrongs, but almost everyone is guilty of something. One person might lie easily but judge someone else harshly for stealing. Another might cheat in a relationship yet feel disgust toward someone who cheats in a test. People tend to follow the rules that are easy or convenient for them, while bending or ignoring the ones that do not fit their lifestyle. Often, this is not out of conscious hypocrisy. Sometimes it is shaped by upbringing, society, or hidden bias.

This way of thinking creates a dangerous illusion. It allows us to believe that our own flaws are acceptable while others’ flaws are not. We justify our actions with excuses like “I had no choice” or “It was not that serious.” But we rarely offer that same understanding to others. It is easier to judge others than to honestly look at ourselves.

Modern technology has made this problem worse. On social media, people often express anger at behaviors they secretly tolerate or even practice. The internet has become a courtroom where everyone is quick to accuse but slow to reflect. Yet when they are the ones being called out, the response is often “You do not know my story.”

The reason we excuse our own faults more easily is because we understand our backstory. We know what pushed us to act a certain way. But we rarely stop to consider that other people might have their own stories too.

Being a selective sinner is part of being human. The real issue is not in making mistakes. The problem is in pretending that our mistakes are better than those of others. This attitude creates division, encourages judgment, and blocks personal growth. Growth begins when we stop comparing flaws and start facing our own with honesty. It requires accepting that we are not better than others, just different in our struggles.

At the end of the day, everyone is dealing with something. We all make choices we may not be proud of. The goal is not to appear perfect or shame others. It is to become more self-aware, more understanding, and more responsible for how we live.
