right!

the right thing at the wrong time and the wrong thing at the right time r easily confused.

message

there r no empty words. the absence of substance or emotion is still integral to the message.

obstacles

in line with the duality that is structural to god's work, he will place obstacles in ur life for 1 of 2 mutually exclusive reasons. they're there either for u to overcome, or to stop u from going somewhere u shouldn't.

i'm fucked if i can tell the difference.

maxim #83

"rubbama a3taka fa mana3ak, w rubbama mana3aka fa a3tak."

(sometimes he gives by depriving u, and sometimes he deprives u by giving.)

cowards can never be moral.

khalil gibran's the prophet

on work:
"you work that you may keep pace with the earth and the soul of the earth.
for to be idle is to become a stranger unto the seasons, and to step out of life's procession that marches in majesty and proud submission towards the infinite."

on freedom:
"you shall be free indeed when your days are not without a care nor your nights without a want and a grief,
but rather when these things girdle your life and yet you rise above them naked and unbound."

on pain:
"much of your pain is self-chosen.
it is the bitter poison by which the physician within you heals your sick self."

on self-knowledge:
"the soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed.
the soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals."

on beauty:
"beauty is life when life unveils her holy face.
but you are life and you are the veil.
beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.
but you are eternity and you are the mirror."

if u choose to regret...
