This is the space between us
And those are the words
I have to create to fill the gap.

II

Two worlds and the borders are waters
If only there is a bridge that comes
Between us
Yet even that would be too long to cross.

III

The distance is not the same,
Even if you are far
Even the clock ticks
Or time stands still;

Pieces of Wisdom

There were so many things I have learned these days, few of them can be capsuled in simple words. Indeed, closely contemplating them will bring truth and reality in perfect harmony.

Here are some, take a bite:

• One is not required to explain to all. Your friends don't need it, and your enemies won't listen anyway.
• Judging people is admitting that you are ignorant of other people's condition.
• What we see is fake. What we don't see is real.
• Genuine people don't brag what they are, as genuine bills don't label its security features, "I am genuine", in fact they are hidden.
• He who wants to be great must be the servant of all.
• Life is not about abundance, its precisely about "contentment".
• Peace is defined as the condition of the very center of a whirling tornado.
• We are foolish. We scourge ourselves to death and blame God for our wounds.
• He who controls his tongue spares His life.

These are the gems I have learned lately. And I am bound to keep them.
