Quest for Meaning


"why you feel scared of them?

some people are scared of other religion, because they themselves don't know who they are.
it doesn't mean that you have to believe, but to know why you don't believe (of other religion), why you don't accept, why this no longer you, you need to know.

freedom.

you think you're free but there is always limitations of life where you have to eat, sleep and so on. you start to think of what's the meaning of your freedom? 
you never experience freedom without getting the sense of what discipline is. you learn to free yourself from your ego. because without discipline, the ego is the first jail of yourself.

master your emotions, or else you're going to be trapped by it.
suspend your judgment. apply more of your educational empathy to understand the reason why others are doing something.
love more & judge less."

inspiring speech by prof tariq ramadan.
let's come back to the root of our questions.
or shall i say mine;
why is your ego is hard to be dealt with? 
seeking for the answer still.
