Excerpts from "I'm Serene"

..."There was once a man whose work was to drill and level the mountain. One day, while he was working, he thought to himself why can't he be like the sun. It is so strong and appears to be the greatest force on earth. He imagined himself as the sun. He was quite happy for a while but when the clouds came and covered the sun, the earth would be dim for some time. Then he thought, it'd better to be like the clouds. Yet, the clouds split when it hits the mountains. Probably, the mountain is superior to any other things. So he decided to pretend to be the mountain. But then, he saw his fellow human friends drilling and digging up the mountain. He realized that God has given him the best position in life compared to the sun, the clouds, and the mountain, and for that he should be grateful..."

Truth is an abstract word, so do faith, so do belief. In the search of truth, I need to first understand the real concept of it. I guess truth is something real, not always tangible and visible but it is there. It's like the wind, you can feel the breeze, but you can't see it nor can you touch it. Truth sometimes scares me, I don't know whether to accept it, to have faith in it or to just ignore it. If HE is the truth that I've been looking for all this while, I'm not sure whether I'm prepared to believe in HIM, to accept and obey HIS sacred words, commandments and prohibitions. Is it possible for me to know the truth and refuse to believe in it. Wouldn't that be a mockery to my discovery and my rational mind....
