I can't understand how people can settle for having just one life. I remember we were in English class and we were talking about that poem by - that one guy. David Frost. 'Two roads diverged in a yellow wood-' You know this poem, right? 'Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry I could not travel both and be one traveler, long I stood and looked down one as far as I could, to where it bent in the undergrowth-" "I loved that poem. But I remember thinking to myself: Why? How come you can't travel both? That seemed really unfair to me. ↗

Man is Nature's most wonderful creature. Torturing him, crushing him, murdering him for his beliefs and ideas is more than a violation of human rights-it is a crime against all humanity. ↗

يتبدي الوحي, إذن, لا بوصفه من قبيل المعرفة المعطاة المفروضة علي الوعي كسلطة لا سبيل أمامه إلا لمحض الإذعان والخضوع لها, بقدر ما يمثل نوعا من الاستجابة الخلاقة المطلوبة لوضع إنساني مأزوم لا يقدر الوعي; الذي هو بنية تطورية في جوهرها, علي التعاطي معه في مرحلة دنيا من مراحل تطوره. وهكذا فإن الوحي يتبلور كسند ومعين للوعي, ونقطة ارتكاز يستند إليها في سعيه إلي تجاوز أزمة واقعه, ولا يتبلور أبدا كضد ونقيض يفرض نفسه كسلطة متعالية لا يملك الوعي إلا محض التبعية لها. ↗
