The document contains a collection of short statements and observations on various topics including life, death, the universe, knowledge, and human nature. Some key ideas expressed are: 1) Language is a product of existence rather than truth, and every person understands the world in their own unique way from their brain. 2) There are seven characteristics of living things due to a underlying "need", and perfection comes from outcomes rather than existing inherently. 3) Discovering the true meaning of life seems impossible due to obstacles preventing humans from finding the truth, though the question remains as to who or what is presenting these obstacles. 4) Life is a state of mind and reality that we assume is real but cannot

anybody.
 It is true that there are seven characteristics of organisms, and seven continents too.

 There are seven characteristics of living things, but I have to say that there should be
something that is behind the existence of these seven characteristics and that is

 One thing that we people have difficulty getting rid of is minding of other people’s
business.
 Knowledge is groups of different known facts, principles, attitudes, skills and values
of the world found in living things heads or in the world itself.

3.  Every human beings brain represent a unique part of the world. It means every human
being understands and perceives the world in his or her own way.
 My thoughts made me to think and believe that the power of the brain cannot be
measured, because the thoughts varies in quality and quantity each time we think.
 I thank all the good and bad things that happens in my lifetime, because they shape up
and sum up to who I am.
 As long as people are around you, you can never be good or bad.
 Instead of worrying about problems that you cannot solve immediately, think about
how you expect the world should be if you were the one ruling it. This will cheer you
up.
 Sometimes you become bored, left out or disappointed, but remember that there is
always a closer friend to comfort and calm you and that friend is your mind.
 Whether we are thinking differently or in the same way, it appears to me in the end
that we are thinking about one same thing-the world we live in.

him or her- stop underestimating people.
 The future does not exist, the only time we live in is the past and the present. The
future is only imaginary.
 There is a tendency of everybody to live not to die, but why can’t we live for ever?
 Everybody struggles for three things, to contain him or herself in his or her wallet, to

4.  The universe have a lot of secret codes that we have to override in order to allow us

when you don’t believe in perfection, you let people make a lot of careless mistakes.
 The only person who will tell you a story about the beginning and end of time is
yourself, it’s just a matter of figuring out the story.
 I believe and trust that in millennia to come, the search for everything will be over
and individuals living that time will have nothing to worry about, life will be constant,
death will be in history books, this years will be remembered as imperfect years.
 People should know that before an idea comes out to the public, the person believed
to have created it, is not the only creator, but there are several people in different
places who have created the same idea- I call that knowledge coincidence.
 In education we practice to know and we know to practice.
 You can never express your ideas in your own words, because people will not
understand you. Ideas are expressed in the words of a particular language.

5.  Culture is the basis for development and innovation, so it is important that it is
preserved.
 Sometimes people get confused by believing in themselves too much. (What I am
saying is true, I swear to god), the mind can be very sure even about the wrong thing.
 All I know is what I know, but what I know is not all I know.
 Nothing in the universe mean something, but it is just what you want it to mean.
 Life is no game, but it is our opponent in an unknown game, life wins the game every
day (that’s why we stay alive) and we can only win the game when we defeat life-
when we die.
 All the teaching approaches that teachers use can work, but none works perfectly.

important to be evaluated by another person.

common interest-God. On the other hand, they tend to label themselves as evil and
good which leads to division.

in the past-suffering one day is like suffering for a lifetime.
 There is no shame when you are in pain.
 There is no body and nothing can solve anyone’s problems. Only a person himself or
herself can solve his or her problems.
 Everyone is a message to everybody surrounding him or her.

6.  The most stupid, but yet important question to ask is ‘what is the origin of life’ it is
stupid, because it cannot be answered by anyone and it is important, because it must
be answered.
 We can be close physically, but we are a long distance apart in terms of what we think
and believe in.
 Knowledge does not necessarily need to have practical application, but you must
acquire it to do yourself a favour of not having an empty head.
 ‘Seeing is believing’ is rather a childish statement- the appropriate saying should be
‘believing is accepting’
 The best way to find what you want is to look for it.
 Bad things in your life are what makes you a real person.
 I believe that before I believe in something, I should first question why I should
believe in it. The answer that will come forth will determine if I will believe or not.
When there is no answer, it means that I should question again and again.
 One river cannot flow in two directions- a person cannot do two things at the same
time.
 Life is a magic without a magician- just like other magic tricks performed by a
magician, you cannot not see the procedures involved- you only see the results. Thus
we have not seen how life began, but we only see that there is life.
 Perfection is brought by outcomes.
 Use your mind to learn how to use your mind.
 Despite the remarkable efforts of human beings to try to discover the true meaning of
life; it seems to me like there is somebody or something planting obstacles in their
way which are consequently preventing them from doing so(discovering true meaning
of life). The question is who is it or what it is that is presenting this obstacles and why

7. would anybody or anything close the path for human being towards finding the truth?
And can this (person, object or spirit) be destroyed? After all, humans are the victims
of death, suffering and other pressing issues in the universe.
 What upsets me is not the bad thing which happens to me, but the fact that I can’t do
anything about the bad thing.
 Life is the worst thing I have ever known. And even though I enjoy it, it only achieve
one thing-which is death.
 People are the real mirrors. Unlike glass mirrors which only shows the physical you,
people tell you all the details such as your behaviour, attitude, personality, etc.
 I wish that death were a human, I could bribe it to give me more time, I have a lot to
do.

different times.

that we are going to die and what is the importance of death when we know that we
don’t want to die?’’
 Sometimes I think of my life as a process of forcing myself into a narrow door of
reality in which I cannot fit.

8.  Everything we do in this world either satisfy yourself or another person.(what you
know or do don’t force it on others)
 Blames and curses does not pave the way, if you are not satisfied about how
somebody lives his life, support him or leave him, because he will figure it out
himself.
 In teaching profession, luck is the devil and struggle is holiness, because when you
make learners understand by miracle, you will believe throughout your whole life that
you are a good teacher but when you make learners understand by struggling, you are
working hard. The idea is you must work hard as a teacher.
 Ride for your pride- I know it’s hard and crazy.
 What stupid beings are we (people), just watching time pass and we can’t realise our
next move towards deciding our destiny.
 Every day in your life is worth it, especially when you are alive. So use it purposeful,
because you don’t know if tomorrow will come.
 People say I must not live my life so fast as if there is something I should slow down
for. I’m telling you, death is comfortable with whatever pace you live your life.
 When a lady leaves you because of your habit (especially smoking and drinking), is
not rational, but it’s natural and traditional. That’s because she was raised to believe
in what is good and what is bad.
 I’m sorry to say this, but nobody can catch what they want, we will all chase our
dreams and ambitions, but no one will catch them, because we are not doing much
better. I mean discovering the real meaning of life is worth a chase, but is a chronic
failure.
 If you are scared of the dark then cut out your eyes, because the dark comes every
night.

9.  Somebody asked me if I believed in heaven and hell. I said I believe in one of the
two- (hell) and I told him that hell is not somewhere far, but it is the world we live in.
 What happens later is what tells whether you have made a mistake or not.
 Life is monotonous, we do the same million things million times.
 What will I do without pain? Pain always give me an urge to do something.
 The people who give advice just pretend to be good.
 Money is like flood. It comes and go back.

future to forget your past is to die- but don’t kill you self.
 When I was young, my friend said to me “let’s work now and play later” I told him no
I like to work later under pressure because that is when I feel that I’m working. My
point being that easy work will just make you a lazy human.
 If you commit suicide you die. This leaves me no choice but to believe that if you
commit suicide after your death, you will only come back to life. If you attempt
suicide, you will not die, so don’t attempt it after your death because you won’t come
back to life.
 Have you ever wondered why it is difficult to discover the truth? Well it’s simple. The
more we are moving away from the past (time is a fluid), the more we lose knowledge
about it due to forgetting. (We are living the truth in the past).
 Dreams are inactive reality. Imagine if all what you dream while asleep actually
happen, you could be a very different person by now.
 Dreams are inactive realities, it is up to yourself to make them active
 Sometimes the voice of a quiet man is louder than that of a talkative man- it depends
on who makes sense between the two.

10.  I wonder what the point of being selfish is. After all, what we have is only ours for
now until death takes it away from us.
 Life is not a choice but it is a force whose magnitude is large enough to push us
towards death no matter how hard we resist.
 People will always theorize about the origin of the universe, but they don’t seem to
think about the origin of its origin- I believe in an eternal universe that does not have
a beginning nor end.
 If I die while I’m alive, I will not recommend people to put me in an expensive casket
or organize a big funeral for me. I mean what is dead body worth? It is only nutrients
and food for plants and underground organisms.
 Leave your life like an underwear, because an underwear gets washed often. I mean
you should lead a clean life.
 What is the point of living longer and remain short? Not your height, but it is your
knowledge I refer to.( do not kill one’s self though)
 What existed first? Is it the light or the darkness? I believe it is the darkness, unlike
the light which comes at dawn and fades away at sundown, the darkness stays the
same. The darkness is the background or medium for light.
 The person you finally change into is the person you were supposed to be all along.
 People who refuse to be racist are ignorant enough to recognize the various races in
the world.
 The only people who are not racists are the blind.
 The ability to differentiate between two or more things is the mother of racism.
 People are confronted with difficult questions and they opt for a simple answer
ʻʻGod’’

11.  The problem with life is that it is not real but it is just a state of the mind. Ask
yourself a question ‘does anything mean something?’ then analyse all the words that
describe life. Do the words mean anything to you or you are just assuming that it
does. How sure you are that life is real? is it because you are living it? How do you
know you are living and why do you think so? What if it’s all a dream and you are in
it?
 Not knowing something is not a problem, but it is the mother of intelligence. I mean,
how do you come to know something if you already know it? If not by not knowing it
in the first place.
 What could be more evil than failing to know the cosmos?
 I am your teacher and your lesson
 When you feel like there is something missing in your life- that is intelligence.
 Stop asking yourself questions like ‘ what will I eat for dinner and ask yourself
questions like ‘ what will it be like if I remove light and darkness from the universe?’’
