Happy Ramadan, BUT!

Ramadan is a month of blessings. A month where we gain all the pleasures and benefits of being a muslim. We pray five times a day, we read the Holy Quran, we fast and avoid bad things. Yes we do it very successfully don't we? even the worst of us? People stop abusing each other, they avoid lying to each other, some go the level of stop listening to music and watching movies. In other words they say we become GOOD for the holy month of Ramadan. I for example know my friends who abuse so excessively, smoke so much, even drink and are on drugs but they are able to control themselves during  Ramadan. But why do we even abuse in the first place? Isn't this the lamest type of sin we do? Just sit and abuse for no reason or as a habit and adding to our sins. There are people who tell me abusing, smoking, flirting etc are in fashion. WOW! :) Anyways, if we can control ourselves in this one month, why can't we control ourselves over all the 12 months?  I know we are human beings and will make mistakes but I don't even see people trying to stop themselves from bad over the rest 11 months. Can't we just try atleast? We really can, if we can in this one month. Ramadan Mubarak to everyone! May Allah guide us and shower HIS blessings upon us and make us realize we can stay GOOD all 12 months not just this one. Ameen.
