Great minds have purposes; little minds have wishes. Little minds are subdued by misfortunes; great minds rise above them – Washington Irving

(Pictured-Malcolm X, a great and misunderstood mind)

Be a great mind.

Don't mistake pervasive ignorance for collective wisdom. In a time when everyone has easy access to a public platform, it's easy to be caught in the sway of popular opinion. Given the overwhelming failures of society, it's important to realise that the most popular opinions are most often the least informed. There has never before been such a desperate need for critical thinkers because of how horribly we have distorted the meaning of success or happiness, or even sincerity. Think carefully before following the herd. They may be leading you towards the edge of a cliff. P. S. Someone pointed
Trials are the easiest distractions from what we should be grateful for, because when we feel burdened, we're inclined to look to those that seem carefree and wish that our lives were like theirs. When faced with trials, gratitude is best practiced by realising how much worse it could be, or better still, recognising all the options that we still have available to us to respond to those trials. Those options are blessings that many others don't have. And perhaps the carefree ones appear that way because they are grateful for their blessings rather than free of burdens. #gratitude #appreciation
Too often we seem to be united in either sorrow, or triumph, but rarely in simply being human. Why do we only recognise the humanity in others during their moments of weakness? We were created in nations and tribes so that we may be able to recognise one another, not despise each other. #humanness #humanity #compassion #love #understanding #tolerance #racism #islamaphobia #extremism #christchurch #hellobrother
I think we become fixated on the physical attraction in others when we give up on finding a companion to fill the spaces of our soul. That's when we compromise fulfilment for instant gratification. #love #lust #hope #romance #marriage #companionship
Don't be a sheep. Don't be herded by hate. Don't let ignorance define your contribution to this world. If you're an adult and still lack critical thinking abilities, then you're still a child. Responding emotionally to every threat is a sign of an under investment in your emotional maturity. You owe the world more than that otherwise you're just another consumer. We don't need more consumers. We need more active and conscientious contributors to break this cycle of absolute stupidity that manifests itself as hate and intolerance. If you seeth with anger in the face of anger, you're part of
