_____________________________
We fault our time when the fault is in us
And what fault does our time have besides us?
We scold what's in our time though it has done no wrong
And had time been able to talk it would have scolded us.
And what fault does our time have besides us?
We scold what's in our time though it has done no wrong
And had time been able to talk it would have scolded us.
(Imam Al-Shafi'i)
