Sufi Quote
Never have I dealt with anything more difficult than my own soul, which sometimes helps me and sometimes opposes me.
Sufi Poetry
Soul or Not
soul is private…
… as private as privacy is
but you may sense it
you can’t see it
it’s invisible
but you may feel it
it supposedly leaves the body
when you die or sleep
but you don’t know for sure
it doesn’t have a mass
somewhat like a thought
it can travel faster than the speed of light
there are so many unknowns about the soul
that some intelligent people don’t believe in it
but only time judges’ intelligence – real or not
Sufisque Political Opinion
1. As a long-term supporter of Palestine, I've been badly hurt by the killing of Israel, including bombing the Iranian embassy in Syria. I didn't quite expect the response from Iran the way it happened. But after watching Scott Ritter's analysis, I'm thinking if it was a great one. Not sure. But not killing people, yet communicating a layered message is my interpretation of humanity.
2. A lot of people on the American right claiming to be free speech advocates are frauds They want free speech for Zionism and imperialism, but not for Palestinians and people who oppose Israel.
- Richard Medhurst
3. As a shareholder of Tesla, I fully approve the Musk pay package of $56 Billion. Not because I like Musk, and I do to some extent. Not because I'm a right wing nut. I'm not. But because I believe it was his genius thinking that got Tesla where it is. Yes, it has a lot of challenges with Chinese EVDs, but it'll survive if Musk leads it. There's no survival without genius minds.
