This is our story to tell. He says it in his Ten Commandements way it and it hits me that way: profoundly. You'd think for all the reading I do, I would have thought about this before, but I haven't. I've never once thought about the interpretative, the storytelling aspect of life, of my life. I always felt like I was in a story, yes, but not like I was the author of it, or like I had any say in its telling whatsoever. You can tell your story any way you damn well please. It's your solo. ↗

Sekularisme bukan hanya sebagai suatu faham yang memberi tumpuan kepada aspek-aspek keduniaan (kehidupan duniawi atau worldly life) tetapi sebagai program falsafah suatu aliran pemikiran yang cuba mentafsirkan realiti dan kebenaran hanya berdasarkan rasionalisme murni. Para ahli falsafah Barat yang sekular sejak zaman pencerahan (enlightenment) telah melakukan pensekularan manusia, alam dan agama sehingga hakikat, makna dan peranan manusia, alam dan agama telah berubah dari faham yang berasaskan pada agama kepada faham yang berasaskan kepada akal rasional semata-mata. ↗

Our relatedness with other living forms provides us something we sorely need: a reverence for the life of all creatures great and small, and an expanded view of our place in nature–not as rulers over it, but as participants in it. ↗

Life is about making mistakes and learning from those mistakes. Life isn't dwelling on the past or fearing the future, it's making the best of the present. Life is a lesson in itself. Regardless of religion, gender, environment, or what you believe will happen when you die, life is about striving to reach your own potential. ↗
