Just perhaps
Perhaps true freedom involves freedom from safety and security...any sense of certainty...
If then do you still want it?
If then do you still want it?
What is it?
What are you seeing in front of you?
Some words?
Some colors?
A screen?
Some particles?
Lights...
Waves...
Can you really put it into words?
How ordinary, yet inexpressible!?

Freedom from the known
Can you not ask to do or not to do?
Must you always carry the past with you?
Can you just be?
This present moment

...random thought of the day...
Not seeing a solution isn't a problem.
But wanting a certain result is a problem.

Listening n thinking
In a sense, listening is like the opposite of thinking.
When you think you can't truely listen.
Btw, have you ever try listening to your thoughts?
What happen when you put your whole heart to listening to your thoughts?
There might still be thoughts, but are they really thinking then?
Or they are just thoughts?

Pain never goes
The desire to run away from pain is the real pain.
On the other hand, the object you want to run away from is simply what it is.

...
Not thinking about it doesn't mean the problem will disappear.
Thinking about it doesn't mean it would help.
Sometimes thinking do help to solve a problem.
Sometimes thinking brings no extra benefit except of painful headache.
Sometimes the solution you came up with is actually a death trap.
Sometimes the problem will naturally dissolve itself even when you do nothing.
So what can or should you do?
There simply isn't a perfect method.
Perhaps this is what is called life, or what life is all about.
There is no perfect method to get by.
Just live without having the perfect method and not demanding such an illusionary object might be is the only truthful method we can find.

Growing, Contradiction, Question
Once I heard an old crazy man said: "In order to grow, you must endlessly contradict yourself."
Then, isn't it that in order to contradict yourself, you must question yourself or your views many times?
2 type of questioning
There are two types of questioning.
(1) questioning other views in the attempt to defeat them and defend your own view
(2) questioning something, in the sense of exploring, out of the sake of gaining greater understanding and clarity of the object being examine
Guess which one would strengthen our fixation and which would help us to expand our mind?

Q&A2
Answers depend on their questions.
Questions depends on their questioners.
When questioner is you, the answer will entirely be dependent upon you.
How you define you questions;
How you choose to define each words in your questions;
How your answers would be shaped.
Is this short or long?
Isn't it dependent upon how you choose to define long?
Is this real or not real?
Isn't it simply dependent upon how you choose to define what is real?
When you know clearly know what you are asking, usually the answer would be quite obvious.
You are inseparable from the answers to your questions.
You are the answers to your questions!
Btw, one of the most beautiful answers is "I don't know!"
To admit "I don't know, or can't be determined" is often the best answer.
The most sane and enlightened thing to realize.
Stop rejecting your enlightened insight.
Stop trading away reality for your fantasies.

Q&A
We all want are answers.
But few of us knows answer and question are interdependent.
Answers depend on their questions!
In this sense, the question is much more primary and important.
Question is the cause, answer is the result.
If you want a relevant answer, then you must have the relevant question.
If you want a precise answer, then you must ask a precise question.
If you want a general answer, then you must ask a general question.
This is simply the way Q&A works.
Very often, by asking the right question, the right answer would come very naturally.
Questioning vs. Doubting
Genuine questioning is more related to inquisitiveness, openness to explore, to see what is really there.
Although questioning also affiliated with doubting and might involve some senses of doubting.
Doubting and questioning aren't exactly the same thing.
To doubt something involve a sense of disagreeing; there is a sense of preexist or immediate judgement even before you begin to explore.
To doubt can be a healthy thing, a vital and beautiful ability to have.
But it also can be harmful when it is overdone, i.e. when one establishes the habitual tendency to doubt everything and anything.
In other words, the mind become so habituate to doubting that it loses its ability to see things with a genuine open mind.
And as a result, nothing is permitted to get it.

Marketer of poverty mentality
What are they advertising all day long?
Claiming to be our friends
Vowing to enrich our life
Aren't they simply marketing dissatisfaction in reality?
As if we aren't poor enough...

a friendly reminder given by my most genuine friend
How can you ever overcome what you painted over or are escaping from?
Living and Dying
Living - isn't it simply is the dying of every moment?
Dying - isn't it the very miraculous heart beat of what we call living?
Aren't they simply the two sides of the same coin?

The courage of being nobody
Everyone wants to be a somebody.
Even the biggest loser want to be a somebody.
To want to be a somebody doesn't require any courage.
All you need is dissatisfaction, which we all only have way too much.
But to be a real nobody, you need real courage.
The courage to appreciate.
The courage to be just as one is.
It requires real guts!
Do you have the courage to be ?

Uncertainty
To feel uncertain is the manifestation of great wisdom!
Stop trying to look for escapes!
Stop seeking comfort from deceiving thoughts!
Just face the truth as it is!
Just face uncertainty as it is!
Stop rejecting the insight of your wisdom!

Caveat!!!
Excerpt from "I'm nobody! Who are you?"
I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us--don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know.
~ Emily Dickinson
...The fact is, the society simply can't tolerate it. Even the mere concept of it could be too difficult for the egos/grasping minds to bear...whether it is for your own ego or for those of others...
