Do unto others much worse than than they'll ever do unto you and you'll never get hurt ever again" -James "Buck" Bukowitz – Ahmed KorayemRate it:
God never abandoned you. He just pushes for you to discover Him. – Ahmed KorayemRate it:
I’d like to believe that our very essence is that of love. At times it’s hard to believe when our experiences remind us of the cold, callous, selfish and liars out there who’ve crossed our paths and hurt us. These hurts have led us to protect our selves by hiding out and shunning our light, our love and our essence from the rest of the world. In the name of self-preservation we, in turn, have become cold, callous, selfish and liars, therefore passing down the cycle of pain to the next generation, forcing them to do the same to protect themselves. The cycle breaks once a single person makes the decision to be vulnerable, to be frail to be their essence, knowing that it could very well lead to a world of pain. In the end, it is worth it to one day have the world full of people who are unafraid of their light and are willing to love unconditionally without fear or consequence. This is the world I would like to live in. This is the world we owe to the future generations – Ahmed KorayemRate it:

The mind holds a specific image of who we currently are, not who we are yet to become. Subconscious fears change since it can't fathom life as the new-self. In that, it will fight, create stories, excuses and limiting theories on why one should remain where they are. Why would it do such a thing? Because it's what it knows. It knows it exists in the current reality and has no guarantees that it will exist in the new one. It also knows you (its host) is alive with the current reality and has no guarantees if you will be alive if you make the transition to the new one. Just trust in that you're enabling in the divine will of the universe to unfold in order to move the world forward. Yes, your work will elevate the level of human consciousness. That is how important you are! – Ahmed KorayemRate it:
The mind is, by far, the most complex tool ever created. The day we’ll discover every minutia of its inner workings is the day we’ll know everything there is to know about this universe. – Ahmed KorayemRate it:
The mind, unlike a box, cannot simply filled whatever that you wish and then remove it once you decide it’s a hazard leaving it unscathed. Rather, it’s like a living being and what you put inside it gets ingested and assimilated. It becomes a part of it and to remove it takes a tremendous amount of consistent work and dedication only to realize that it was best not to have taken whatever it is in to begin with. – Ahmed KorayemRate it:
The more resistant we are to the oncoming chaos, the more we will be stuck in a constant struggle and are unable to move forward. One must embrace the chaos in open arms and once the self-destruction ensues, then self-development can follow. One can't get upset at the dying fields when he is constantly warring with the rain clouds – Ahmed KorayemRate it:
The object of the poet is not to accurately describe an emotion brought about from an experience, but rather, the poem is an acknowledgement that words have rendered themselves useless and the attempt to write is merely an acknowledgement of that moment – Ahmed KorayemRate it:
The only accidents I know of are incidents that have been subjected to a serious case of mislabeling – Ahmed KorayemRate it:
The path less taken disinterests me while the path frequently taken appalls me. I'd rather find a path never taken before – Ahmed KorayemRate it:
The secret of life isn't an attempt to explain everything but, rather, to understand that certain things can't be explained. Demanding that everything is to be dissected neath a microscope is madness. Hence the attempt to explain everything is madness. – Ahmed KorayemRate it:
The unintelligent have no rights to own anything let alone their own thoughts which they have no choice but to hand over to anyone. Chaos almost certainly ensues in such a case – Ahmed KorayemRate it:
There are no perfect people, just perfect expectations of people – Ahmed KorayemRate it:
To deny expression is a form of lying and a mode of suicide. – Ahmed KorayemRate it:
To merely exist is the gravest of sins – Ahmed KorayemRate it:

True lust knows no bounds. Marriage or otherwise" - Buck, Mental Hell – Ahmed KorayemRate it:
Voicing one's virtues is the deadliest of vices – Ahmed KorayemRate it:
We cannot simply allow the treacherous few determine the fates of themany. At such times, the virtuous should be held to equalaccountability of the vile for their inactions – Ahmed KorayemRate it:
We suffer not because suffering is inevitable. Suffering is inevitable when you keep trying to suppress those feelings you're afraid of. Feelings you labelled as 'bad' and believe you should have never had them in the first place. You'll never get out of this rut lest you learn to sit with the feeling no matter how horrible it feels. Give it (the feeling) the acceptance it deserves and illusion of suffering is reveled – Ahmed KorayemRate it:
Whether you say you can or you can't is absolutely fine as long as it's not someone other than yourself who's saying it to you – Ahmed KorayemRate it:
Who I am and what I am are two entirely different and distinct entities. One I happen to know quite well, the other, I fear, I know nothing about and the space between the two is that which even infinity cannot occupy – Ahmed KorayemRate it:
You can kill the poet but never his rhyme – Ahmed KorayemRate it:
