For others, this role is played by material glitter and glamour. however, on the day of Judgment, every person will come forth in his or her natural state. What a tough day that will be! if people were to realize this now, they would stop chattering. nothing of this world will then give them true joy. They will begin to regard material respect as utterly meaningless as worldly disrespect. ENGINEERING NOT ENOUGH Life is more than engineering.
