What ever happened to character?...
The essence of a man,
the condition of his heart:
honest intent, genuinity;
praying good for another,
emanating deep from within his inner core...
To now, a mere art to master, and no more:
a guise, a smile, a flattering comment,
empty, and if not,
laden, with the desire to manipulate,
to impress, to be liked, to be recognised;
a gesture all about me; all for me, naught from me,
because backward, out of time, out of place,
looked down upon, is straightforward sincerity.

(Inspired by something I read in Mufti Taqi Uthmani's 'Rights and Responsibilities' about how the person with good character is the one with perfect faith and how understanding of character has changed in today's world.)
