Oppression (Fitna) is Worse Than Killing

Ill-nature causes life to be miserable (unhappy) and torments (tortures) the soul. Imam Ali (AS) Ghurar al-Hikam, no. 5639
[Ill-nature (mean, disagreeable, bitter, poisonous, ill-tempered, bad-tempered, ill-humored, moody, irritable)]

Luck, Inaction, Learning vs Dying

The Foundation of the World according to Imam Ali (AS); The world is founded on justice.

Illusion is the idea that people should be, and do, what we want them to. 
The truth is, all is as it should be, despite appearances or our perceptions of others to the contrary.
[Illusion: a thing that is or is likely to be wrongly perceived or interpreted by the senses]

Jabir reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, Allah is beautiful and He loves beauty. He loves the loftiest of affairs and disapproves of pettiness.”

Imam Khomeini advised faithful people to adorn themselves with good traits, and remove their vices (immoral or wicked behavior).

Positive Character Traits are Lifelong Assets
