- Politics is about seeking a sense of security, and protecting our assumptions instead of directly facing towards to them. Politics itself is a contradiction, and always be in this way.
- What is public services? Is it real?
- Why do I do what I am doing..? Volunteer? Work at the kitchen at dining common? School? Conducting interview?
- What’s my own purpose to be existed in this world?
- Why am I making assumptions of things I don’t know instead of asking directly?
- People are too busy to BE in the moment. But why? We plan, we make schedule, we promise, we worried, we escape, we HOPE. We also blinded ourselves with images, performances…Yuckyyy, so hard to live my own self in a truthful way without getting caught up with my own assumptions, desires, and fears. Be Honest, and Be Brave.
- Too much information out there. I have to train my mind to be disciplined. And follow my own heart.
- I didn’t supposed to criticize politics, but why am I still doing this..? Am I consciously thinking about this, or just because I hold my assumptions too tight?
- The word “fear” itself actually explains politics, which is fail to “Listen”.
