“Either you think about things and try to understand them or you reach for relatively empty soundbites and slogans which excuse you from the difficult business of trying to understand things.”

“The question begins outward:
Why is there pain? Why is there injustice? Why is there death?

But the real weight of the question turns inward.
Why do I care? Why does this disturb me? What must I do with this awareness?

The question stops being a tool and becomes a mirror.
In it, you see not the world – but the one who is looking at it.
And the more honestly you ask, the more clearly you see that the self is not a thing you possess. It is a direction you move toward.”
― Adeel Ahmed Khan
