Some interesting info: This is very reminiscent of the Baby X experiments, in which it was discovered that people reacted differently to a baby’s behavior depending on whether or not they believed the baby to be male or female. People were asked to watch a video of a baby reacting to a startling image (a Jack-in-the-box popping up), and describe the baby’s emotional state. When people believed the baby to be female, they described the baby as being scared and upset; when they thought the baby was male, they perceived the baby to be angry. This was very telling, as it showed that literally identical behavior could be construed differently based on the perceived gender of the subject.

و ما يحدث هذه الأيام أن الكل يرفع الأيدي بالدعاء لرفع الظلم و لكن الكل ظالم مستبد كل في دائرته فلا يستجاب دعاء .. و تغرق الدنيا في المظالم أكثر و أكثر .
و لو ركبنا إلى الله مركب الصدق .. و عَدِلَ كلٌ منا في دائرته و أخلص في عمله و اتقى في قوله لتولانا الله برحمته و لأكلنا من فوقنا و من تحت…
When Sandy Patangay left her home country of India to come to the United States, she never dreamed that she’d one day be able to bring something so special from her native culture to eager New York City consumers. After having completed her masters and begun working on Wall Street, she turned her sights away from the corporate world and began to channel her true passion - henna design - into a project that has become incredibly successful in an incredibly small amount of time. Transmuting traditional henna designs onto a whole new medium, Sandy creates beautiful cakes, cookies, and macaroons that have earned critical praise from some of the most renowned culinary experts. Thinking back on her decision to take this step in establishing her own business, she says:
So many times, I asked myself, whether this was a stupid move — walking away from a secure job to sell cakes. But now I can see I didn’t waste a single day. While I loved what I was doing on Wall Street, there’s only so much you can do to climb the corporate ladder. And how many people actually end up being the CEO? But when you follow your passion, the possibilities are endless.

"
إلهِي لَسْتُ للفردوس أهلاً..
ولا أقوى على النار الجحِيم !
فَهَب لِي توبة، واغفر ذنوبي ..
فَاِنَّك غَافر الذنب العظيم !
أفرّ إليكَ منكَ وليس إلا …
إليكَ يفرُ منكَ المستجيرُ ،
فإن عذبتني فبسُوء فعلي ..
وإن تعفو فأنتَ به جديرُ
