Lesson fifty six :The wise and the fool

Imam Ali( A. S. )says:

العاقِلُ يَعْتَمِدُ عَلى عَمَلِهِ وَ الْجاهِلُ يَعْتَمِدُ عَلَى أَمَلِهِ‌

Translation

The wise man relies on his endeavor and action and the fool one relies on his wishes..

Brief description

The wise are positive and truth seeking individuals.

So they always look for their high objectives in the external existence, and since attainment to them is not possible without endeavor and attempt, they focus their effort on their action, while unaware fools are drowned in a sea of wishes and imaginations, and seek for what they have lost in the world of imaginations, and since access to fancies does not require work and attempt, negative tendencies are manifested in all aspects of their life. They are always contented with awaiting for subjective victories in tomorrow which has not come yet and may never come, and so they do not have any support in life save wishes.
