Instinct and Choices

I was in Busro, Syria one time with my friends. We visited the great colosseum. It's actually the place where 'Gladiator' was filmed. And when I was in the middle of the ring, I was speechless that I can't believe my own eyes I was there. This thing existed even before the time of Prophet Muhammad. And I believe prophet Muhammad must have come by here once, he used to travel and do business in Syria even before he was chosen as a prophet. And near the colosseum, there's a church where the prophet met a pope, and at that time the pope foretold Muhammad was gona be a prophet. At that moment everything was so real for me. All the ruins of the city and all that. I could see the old roman empire came into life before me.

I miss Syria.



"All our progress is an unfolding, like a vegetable bud. You have first an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge as the plant has root, bud, and fruit. Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason."

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)

"If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is a compromise."

Robert Fritz
