Against the winds

I realized I've been having numerous down-times. Too many and far too long for my own good.

It was only today when I realized this when a close friend taught me some valuable key lessons.

That doesn't mean that we're sad, gives us the right to lose faith altogether in those who really care for us. It could be that they might not show the concern in the way that we want them to, but the most important thing is, they care.

Doesn't mean that we've been hurt, gives us the right to dwell in our own little world and ignore everyone and everything else. Because we are not only human beings, we are functional human beings whose heart still beats no matter how many times the world breaks it.

Most importantly, I've also learnt that every take-off is against the wind, and not with it.

So first things first, it's time to lift myself off of the ground.

It is not ...

“To know how to put what knowledge in which place is wisdom. Otherwise, knowledge without order and seeking it without discipline does lead to confusion and hence to injustice to one's self.” - Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas This week's key takeaway for me is that; knowledge requires knowing its proper order and place.  Everything else is just information.

Infinity

unbounded to any definitions or limits, existing but not adequately known. this entity, being constantly talked about, pulls like an unbeatable gravitational force. we are always approaching, almost touching, existing in tandem, still, not yet meeting Infinity the eventual meeting where there are no bounds
