Trying — The Essence of Being Human
You can
Just learn things.
Did you know that?
No one knows everything.
No one can.
How could you?
A very few
think critically anymore.
Everyone is biased
to their own opinions.
The problem gains momentum
When we stop questioning
the opinions we hold.
We get used to talking
in front of a wall,
So all we can hear is ourselves.
Try to put yourselves
in others' shoes.
Try to understand things
from others' perspectives.
Try to form
a better understanding
of the world you live in.
Do not be a slave
to your ignorant opinions.
Question them.
You are allowed to change
As you learn more.
You must try
to get past your egos,
to see the world beyond yourself.
You'll find —
There is a lot to discover
in a lifetime,
And there is a lot that
stretches beyond your own.
At first —
it is unsettling,
And that's okay.
Just keep going.
Never —
never stop questioning things.
For it breaks the myths
and only strengthens what is true.
But only if you dare to question
the nature of things.
This is the way.
This is the only way.
Openness is intelligence in motion.
Closed-mindedness is ignorance solidified.
it is not easy.
Nothing on this planet has ever been.
The doubts and the questions exist
to keep your opinions in check.
As Richard Feynman
Once said —
Things must be learned,
only to be unlearned again,
or, more likely, to be corrected.
Do not try to suppress them,
For they are your guide.
Change is the only way forward.
When faced with uncertainty,
know that —
Nothing is permanent.
Everything changes.
Nothing lasts forever.
And life goes on.
Remember —
Acceptance is always the hardest part.
Fix yourself before fixing the world.
Trying is the most human thing we can do.
