How personal is a 'sincere' opinion can be? And how beautiful - good & rightful - a thing that is always preferable? Elsewhere, hedonism has been refered to as things/actions/decisions people choose to do or not to do due to their inner fear of so many things. Can we say something personal then? Is this all about ihtisan, a method of exercising personal opinion in order to avoid unfairness (in terms of law & enforcement)? If so, then, this leads us to another preferable method of deciding; the istiqamah, i.e. how people look for ways to avoid deviations and extremes. This, of course involves sincerity, uprightness, integrity and honesty.
Would not it be possible to have such a wonderful way of complying with the spirit of going along the mainstream?
Until, and only when sincerity, honesty and integrity are indeed reflected as clear as crystal, can we talk freely about the beauty of not going against the mainstream.
