Jack the ant killer!
Some of the times are just like that. You feel like on top of the world and then you feel it all went upside down! You never meant to, or wanted to go down, but you had no choice, you just had to!
You worked hard, you stayed honest, you prayed, you knelt but only thing you got in the end was despair.
You wanted to be the giant killer but came out to be just the ant killer.
Something tricky goes into your heart, that tells you to f (whatever) the whole thing up and let’s make your own way, irrespective of whether that way is right or wrong, or partially wrong. That’s the devil my friend!
Stay away from the devil, for the devil is .. well.. just devil 
bad, sinful and just not trustworthy enough.
And those who stay away from acting weird in bad times, they see the light of the day very quickly. They take whatever happened to them as something that was good for them, was a lesson for them, was a test for them. They see green, they are rewarded with something better.. this is the glorious system of Allah.
As philosophical as it may sound, the above write up is based on my desperate attempt to get Internet at my new home some time back; But sounds perfectly fine with other situations of life too! so had to add that magical touch to it pal =P
Brilliant philosophy!
However, let’s not underestimate the ant we crush when we don’t get what we want. The giant that we need to crush is a part of our own self. Crush the giant in us, and let the soul harness the flesh, its temporary abode.
It’s funny how simple rules can be applied to the most serious things in life. I pray Allah gives us wisdom. Ameen.
VL: so true, we need to keep that giant within ourselves to be as powerless as possible and “and let the soul harness the flesh” as you very nicely put it.
