Misunderstanding!

Perhaps it was all a misunderstanding from the beginning. For he thought she understood his silence, when she never even understood his words.
(Re-evaluating an older post of mine)

Vision!

One must dream but with open eyes.

Freedom and Hope!

Freedom comes to those who dare to dream. Who are not afraid of hoping; even hoping against hope when finding themselves in dire straits. A free man is a dreamer who hopes that the world is or will eventually turn out to be as beautiful as his dreams. Someone who at every stage of his journey realizes the immense uncertainty that lies a head. No philosophy or theory can encapsulate the essence of freedom better than hope.
Only  those who find it impossible to dream or hope are incapable of true freedom.

Metaphysics of Self Justification!

X: Why do you think we justify ourselves all the time? Any psychological or philosophical reasons for it Qasim? Me: Well, the mere fact that there is something instead of nothing; makes all the life an attempt at self-justification. :p

'When You Are Old' by William Butler Yeats

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face
;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

Meaning of life!

The meaning of life is neither happiness nor suffering. It is making sense out of it even when it doesn't.

Truth and God!

IF God is truth then pursuance of truth becomes submission to God. So, a man can be a believer even without knowledge of his submission.
