    We can't be sure 100%, that's the beauty of life. Calculating risk, getting to know yourself before you say you know others, accepting that we don't control our fate completely and trusting destiny are the ways we deal.

    yeah, I agree it's good to re evaluate our selves and how we look at the world. But if we do it so much that it interferes with normal activities and becomes unbalanced then it's too much. I say that because I am an analytical person, and sometimes it's too much. People who "think alot" are really interesting, but sometimes they don't get to enjoy life as much as others because they are to busy worrying :)

    Awya and fahem kol haga! The most solution for every thing drawn by the conclusions above is that u should always know some thing for a long time. Don't judge a book from it's cover. That means that u shouldn't say for example oh thats a nice person; and u just know that person for a minute! Fahem 3alaya?

    Opinions and decisions in life affect people differently. I might be in a situation and make an opinion about something or decide some thing from my own point of view because I look out for what is best for me and surely some one else might see it from their own point of view that it's not good for them and they might argue that you are making a wrong judgment. Life offers different roads for us to take every day and you surely will alot of mistakes by sometimes taking the wrong road but that is not some thing that should bother you cause this is what makes you wiser the next time you are put in the same situation you will know the right decision you should take and my advice is to live your life and leave it up to god in the end :)

    well opinions arent facts right, so unless like 1000 people agree with it it could be a fact. and to make sure your opinion is right, learn the person or thing first observe it/them and after a while base your opinion on what youve seen.

    If you're an atheist, the stark lines of reality are real. If you're a believer, the patches of light in between are. It just depends on what part of the elephant you're looking at.

    If all your thoughts and opinions are right today, then what are you gonna learn tomorrow ?, and if all your future thoughts and opinions are going to be right, then what are the wrongs you did / do / will do in your life ?

    That's my opinion :D

    Doubly sure. Still I believe God alone knows. Because everything looks a paradox.
