ALLEGORY OF LIES AND CONTROL USING THE TRUMAN SHOW
let's try something new. let's use the movie: "the truman show", as an example to elaborate on the methods used christof on truman and let's map this to how satan deploys lies, executes control and deception to mankind.
christof is the orchestrator of everything and he whispers into the microphone for the other actors (marlon, meryl, mom, dad, neighbors , work colleagues) to participate in the fake life of truman. christof manufactures ways to keep truman on the island, living in a fake reality and applies tactics of conditioned fears (dogs, water, airplanes etc).
christof also uses truman's altered reality to sell products to the consumers, so that the consumers live in that reality, despite being outside of it. this is achieved thru ads, sponsorships, discounts etc.
on the flip side of things, there is a movement (similar to the consumers), who see that truman is being manipulated and this isn't right. they try to voice out but are suppressed, since christof feels he is delivering a greater good and it's ok for truman to be living in this altered reality since christof gets to decide what's right/wrong for him...christof loves the control he has and there is always a good reason to add the word "safe" to the mix.
finally, truman picks up on clues, meets with people who are genuine and sets himself on an adventure of finding who he is and what's his purpose. eventually, christof makes his life difficult when he sets out to find the truth....testing his steadfastness, leading to giving up upon truman's persistence.
now, if we analyze the plot from a satan vs mankind perspective, truman could be our souls wanting to find the truth, which is heavily blocked by the fears brought on by satan, via his whispers of poverty, hunger, safe n effective, line of credits as safety precautions etc. the consumers of the fight between mankind and satan would be the big corps, media, big pharma, insurances, selling their sponsorships and products to enhance the falsehoods and manufacturing ways to hide the truth by making us live in an illusion (eg be a good citizen and take your routine flushots or daily pills or GMO foods), making the fake reality, appear as the reality.
once in a while the "free truman group" show up, calling to the truth but the lobby is heavy and they get rediculed for trying to call people out about reality checks. similarly, people who try to showcase the truth gets similar treatment because the mass is typically not aligned.
Both, brothers and sisters, complaining about how Jamaa members are a sample of what the average Muslim looks like out there and about how difficult ( I guess meaning painful) the process of finding a spouse is...
I don't know which is sadder, the beleifs or the fact that there may be an issue here.
I do know one thing: whoever cracks the code, and it can be cracked insha'Allah, is the next super hero.
Looking forward to it insha'Allah. Seriously.

"HOW TO SPOT BREADCRUMBS"
Spotting breadcrumbs in relationships involves recognizing inconsistent or minimal efforts from the other person. Here are some signs:
1.Inconsistent communication:
They only reach out sporadically, and their responses are brief or vague.
2.Lack of concrete plans:
They make plans but cancel or don't follow through, or they're vague about future meetings.
3.Mixed signals:
They show interest one moment, then become distant or unresponsive the next.
4.Minimal effort:
They put in minimal effort to get to know you or support you emotionally.
5.Focus on physical intimacy:
The relationship is primarily physical, with little emotional connection or commitment.
6.No labels or commitment:
They avoid labels or committing to the relationship, leaving you uncertain.
7.You're always initiating:
You're the one initiating conversations, making plans, and putting in effort to keep the relationship going.
If you notice these patterns,,, it may be a sign that the other person is breadcrumbing you, leaving you with false hope or uncertainty. Prioritize your own emotional well-being and consider reevaluating the relationship.
I used to always say that looks don’t matter, and that when you truly love someone, you automatically see them as the most beautiful person in the world. And honestly, I still believe that.
But as I grow up and start meeting people through arranged dating, I realized something confusing… looks do matter at first.
So here is the confusion
If love makes someone beautiful in your eyes, then why does attraction matter before love even begins?
What makes a man involve his family in a proposal, then suddenly ghost without explanation?!
