Why are you here?Where am I?You have come to this place_ to lie in the ground?The derision in the question was clear.I have come to this place to find peace.And what is peace?Laughter in the recesses of his mind.This is peace. Perhaps it is. I don__ know.A pause.Talking to yourself, eh?There is no one else around.That is the beginning of wisdom.And what of it?Who are you?I am Peter.What are you?I_ I am that which says I.Clever.Sometimes.He sparked a cigarette, nicotine bringing a touch of stability to his otherwise entirely too excited cognitions.What is I?I am.That is all?I don__ know.Where is I?Where am I?I am between this and that.This is again wisdom.He laughed aloud now, pulling deeply on his smoke, exhaling through clenched teeth.I am space.Of a sort.I am a character in a story.Sometimes.Nothing more?A page of your life turns. Do you see it?Sometimes.The blank of the page, the openness of its margins, do you see?Yes.This is the void of your unfolding imagination.Indeed.Would you fill it with your own story?I am void. I am between. I am neither this nor that. I am an idea of a between.What story would you have?Whatever I can. I am nothing.That is enough?No.What would you be?A man.This is also wisdom.

A man who rightly governs self, may also govern family without the crippling cowardice, crutch of control.

The best thing to learn from any government is that it does not get affacted by what other people talk or think about it.

No matter the situation don't let your emotions overpower your intelligence.

The only way you can reach your full potential is if you open up and allow your self to be exposed to how you really feel.

Only themselves understand themselves and the like of themselves,As souls only understand souls.

The outside world can only trigger or block your experience of your true nature. Each time something beautiful takes your breath away, that__ you experiencing yourself. Each time you fall in love with someone, that__ you experiencing yourself. Each time a child__ smile gives you unspeakable joy, that__ you experiencing yourself. Your true nature is beautiful. Life is the art of rediscovering yourself, again and again, in different forms, celebrating, rejoicing, welcoming. You are beautiful. You are life itself.

The worst battle you'll have to fight is between what you know and how you feel.
