If you had a freeway billboard, what would it say?

Knowledge is Power

So gather together the glass beads of your curiosity and inner light and pursue knowledge relentlessly until you’ve managed to understand all that has been hidden from you through the guile adults and those more powerful than you, poverty, a difficult childhood – whatever else stands in your way.

Knowing through your mistakes and pain is better than being blissfully ignorant. Always.

Being stupid or living in denial about reality is dangerous in our complex world, so don’t fool yourself.

Be steely in your mind and take no shit, but be soft in your heart and especially to animals, children and those who have truly earned your trust. It will be harder for people to hurt you when you stand up for yourself.

  1. Well and wise said, dear friend. Without suffering, we will never see the brightness of healing. As Dr Carl Jung utters:
    The foundation of all mental illness is the unwillingness to experience legitimate suffering.🤙💖

      1. Thank you so much for your kindness. Carl Jung is genuinely worth reading, though if you please let me mention that his works might also teach philosophy, but they are basically on psychology. Sincerely, with great respect. Aladin.🙏🤗🤙

  8. Or like Rayden a God of the Outworld in Mortal Kombat II the arcade game said, “There is no knowledge that is not power.” Just a variation on your words. I think it means, that no small detail is insignificant, and all things make the whole picture, the focus increases with the many facets and dimensions. Great channel, I will definitely subscribe. Here’s my site, it’s just one humble page, but it has almost endless content, enjoy! https://djfrankieholmes.wordpress.com

    1. Very insightful Skyprincesk. It is a market and we do come here to trade, our time, energy and skill for money. I long for a world that is less transactional ans more reciprocal and where it’s fair for everyone – human and non-human, possibly that’s a naive fantasy but it’s good to imagine.
