If we can really understand

If we can really understand the problem, the answer will come out of it, because the answer is not separate from the problem.

~Jiddu Krishnamurti

Freedom

Freedom from the desire for an answer is essential to the understanding of a problem.

So, what have we learned?

So, what have we learned? What's the lesson for today? For all the never-ending days and restless nights in Oz? That morality is transient? That virtue cannot exist without violence? That to be honest is to be flawed? That the giving and taking of love both debases and elevates us? That God or Allah or Yahweh has... answers to questions we dare not even ask? The story is simple: a man lives in prison and dies. How he dies? That's easy. The who and the why is the complex part. The human part. The only part worth knowing... Peace.”

you know who you are and you know what you want.

The truth is

"The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers."

~M. Scott Peak

It did not really matter

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist, not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

So this is the answer

So this is the answer to all the riddles: here in the wild I have you, two halflings and a host of men at my call, and the Ring of Power within my grasp.

I trust so much

"I trust so much in the power of the heart and the soul; I know that the answer to what we need to do next is in our own hearts. All we have to do is listen, then take that one step further and trust what we hear. We will be taught what we need to learn."

~Melody Beattie

It is better

"It is better to debate a question without settling it than to settle a question without debating it."

To really ask

To really ask is to open the door to the whirlwind. The answer may annihilate the question and the questioner.

There is no answer

There is no answer.
There never has been an answer.
There never will be an answer.
That's the answer.
