You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.

On Equality
Many people go out to the streets asking for equality for everything. I agree they are doing it with their best intentions. However, equality is not a good approach to solve any human problem. Why? Because we are not equal. We are not the same. Everyone has their own opinions, ideas, thoughts, perspectives, desires, dreams,… and this singularity is something to be appreciated and not eliminated nor feared. We are all different, we have our own skills, some better, some worst than others but, in that sense, we are the missing part of someone.
Equality is a surface without any point for connection. If everyone were equal in relation to the others then nobody would need anyone, then we would die completely alone or we would never be born at all.
That’s why singularity is a great thing. We can connect with each other because we are different, because we can share experiences and perspectives with each other to improve ourselves and enjoy. However, what really needs to be equal is our view, our global goal to live together in a dream world.
Having said that I would add that difference should be supported and respected and we should unite with our differences and build a world where we could live happily together, because, one way or another, either we want it or not, we are always dependent on someone else. Peace.
Silence is only frightening to people who are compulsively verbalizing.

After the rain, comes the sun. A tough battle with my hatred over and a feeling of refreshment rushes again through my body.
Infinity, where do you hide yourself? I need you. I want to embrace you in the ressonance of my dreams and be one with you… Let me meet you someday.
Sit in reverie and watch the changing color of the waves that break upon the idle seashore of the mind.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
