When faced with our own capacity for cruelty, selfishness, or indifference, how do we discern whether we are deviating from our humanity—or merely uncovering the darker truths of what being human actually entails?
It was not possible to own, to seek redemption for my ‘monstrous’ capacity for cruelty, selfishness and indifference, until, from a dark place of despair caused by my lack of humanity I could ‘see’ clearly, what was forsaken.
To become fully human, required first, to ‘see’, to own, my shadow.
To know oneself fully, to own one’s capacity for monstrous behaviours is the first step to becoming fully human.
I got cut off before finishing,any way these quotations are wonderful in Quotes 302 .Quote #1,saying that greater part of Law taught in universities doesn’t teach you how to tolerate fools, it is true one has to keep their mouth shut,listen in silence no matter how painful it might be,just to save yourself and your dignity which may be challenged if one speaks out.
Quote #2 by James Baldwin ,reading Dostoevsky I realized that how reading through those painful,heartbreaking emotional stories makes me feel sad and emotional and looks to connect with my family and friends for some reason.Quote #4,said very truly correct about people reading books.Reading books myself is so much part of my life that before the book is reaching its end I always have another book lined up for reading,it is like you don’t want life to end,knowing that is inevitable.Books never let me feel that I am alone when no one is around me.
Question #1. Instead of judging, pause and reflect. As a medical professional I make assumptions about a person’s ability to perform certain functions based on my own experience. This ultimately a trap. Everyone has distinct experiences from education and no one is the same. Most have gotten through life being ignorant and are happy to continue this way. Fools will be fools and all we can do is be the spectator.
It’s not just university that makes us to do what we are not supposed to do. It’s applicable to many all institutions.why is it so is a question that needs to be answered.

Thereafter, it is a choice.
No. 4, Something in me is saying “inevitability”, but what that entails? No idea just yet, but thank you for planting that seed ;)

Angry over Assault of "other"
Words after words after words after words to live by! (I made a typo a moment ago wherein I wrote "worlds" to live by. Same thing I guess.
