'Wisdom of the Empty Vessel'

(Copied from a Facebook note from friend Imran (Oney). Might not agree with all, but food for thought. Spelling corrected and formatted.)

1. Knowing thyself is not possible because we are what we choose to be.

2. The brightest person is the one who understand the absolute darkness.... the intensity of white is best seen in the presence of the intense black... grey can never show whether more black or white is there.

3. Give the best, expect not the very worst in return .... your repay is in your courage to do good no matter what.

4. Those who lie knows they are guilty... that guilt itself will take care of all the mischief it causes .... so learn to care less for the liars.

5. Always remember the faces who were there when you needed them the most... more often people take the good things for granted... that is the only mistake that causes all the pain.

6. Friends in need are the only human souls that are to be cared for the most as that sense of duty is not bound by any blood relation, law, stereotype or even culture.

7. No man is greater then the other, so bow not before men, respect is all u will get in return.

8. If humbled is what you are by the touch of wisdom, understand that you are wise.

9. Mistakes only have a presence if you do not learn from your experience.

10. The road to freedom of any sort is never ending.
