Imam Ali (a.s.) points to a truth worth sitting with: the example of the world is like a serpent: it is soft in touch but its inside is full of venom. an ignorant person who has fallen into deceit is attracted towards it, but a wise and intelligent man stays on guard against it.

Slow down once today and ask: is this the wise response?
