My compass is my heart, though it matters not. For I sail uncharted waters.

The question is not where I sail, the question is why do I sail? For freedom. I want to be free, free of mind, free of soul, free of thought. Thought is the sail that propels my ship.

Poor hermeneutics and dogmatic interpretation of scriptures seem to be at the source of ruined families, civil wars, and broken community. So how can I ensure that I am not fostering this narrow-mindedness? More importantly, can I be open and willing to changing my views without trading my faith and values as many staunch conservatives would argue? I hope the answer is ‘yes’.

Talk is cheap and easy, while action is costly and difficult.

If your opponent has a conscience, then follow Gandhi and nonviolence.
But if your enemy has no conscience like Hitler, then follow Bonhoeffer.
