The funny thing about humans is we are ok to be unhappy, as long as we can prove it's not our fault

Even good intentions are useless, if proving them comes at the cost of realizing them

Participatory Democracy' is not an excuse for inability to take decisions
I find these debates around what's 'natural' and what's 'unnatural' funny. If something EXISTS, that makes it natural. It might be uncommon, in minority, not as per the majority convention, difficult to accept, bitter to digest, hateful for some, disgusting for others - but it's still natural!! If we can see that, perhaps we will also get curious around how it came about to be - rather than trying to 'censor' it from our lives. Reality is not subject to our censorship, only our minds are. Its like closing our eyes to something and believing its gone!!
What we accept as right, is usually just a majority opinion
"Sometimes we know what everybody should do, but not what we ourselves want to do…"
The same person who "completes you" now, might eventually become a reminder that you are incomplete
Maybe professing REAL love is like performing an art(like a song or a dance) from the heart. The real joy lies in the expression itself. The words or moves are just a means to express, not demand. To share, not transact. Transactions are the mind's domain. The heart is already grounded in joy - unconditionally. So abundant - that it wants to express, to tell, to share - for free. Not grounded in fear of what it will get in return; that just becomes a triviality. You invite them to dance, but you dance anyway. Not because they think its great, but cos it makes you happy. If they dance - its for their sake, not your's. Joy and abundance. Not fear and scarcity.
"Truth always wins" is misleading. Truth can never lose to begin with. Truth is. A fact is a fact. Battles are fought to 'prove' that WE are on its side. And of course everyone believes truth is on their side. :) But that's just a belief. We can fight only over beliefs - and the most popular one usually wins. But one belief is as good as the other - popularity aside. But knowing the truth is another story. It is the end of conflict, not the cause
A leader is not the one who just represents the voice of the majority, but has the clarity, courage and ability to correct it
Its all for the best...or for the worst. Depending on how long you wait before drawing the conclusion. The better option is of course to stop concluding, sit back and enjoy the roller coaster ride.
The most difficult conversation I have witnessed is the one between the two voices in my head....when the alarm goes off on Monday morning

An argument is like 2 expert rowers trying to row a boat in opposite directions. A lot of sincere effort is put in, but it still takes them nowhere
The problem is not in having a belief, but in treating it like a fact
Trying to "encourage" a child to learn something is a euphimism for manipulation. the best we can do is to help it FIND what it wants to learn, WITHOUT "needing our encouragement". And then get out of its way. Simply cos we might know squat about that way, slow down, break the flow of the wonderous journey
Blaming is a great way to reduce the pain, but it aggravates the disease.
Relying on someone to bring in good change, is like dropping the oars in a storm and (sincerely)praying to God for the storm to stop
When we are blind, the sad thing is there is no way to find out that the other person might not be. So its easy to assume he is blind.... It's still treatable, until the focus moves from 'How do I see?' to 'Who is blind?'
Everybody wants to quit the rat race....after we have found a good shortcut to win it.
Fear is a strange thing. It exists when we won't face it, and disappears when we do!
