“Malcolm, don’t eat any more pork, and don’t smoke cigarettes. I’ll show you how to get out of prison.” Autobiography of Malcolm X
I am America.
I am the part you won't recognize,
but get used to me.
Black, confident, cocky
my name, not yours.
My religion, not yours.
My goals, my own.
Get used to me.
-Muhammad Ali
My name is Wes. I was born, raised, and currently reside in Anchorage, AK.
I am Inupiaq Eskimo and Honduran.
I work as U.S. Airways' Ops at Anchorage Int'l Airport for DGS.
I want to learn how to read this (Amharic):
"O Allah! If I worship You for fear of Hell, burn me in Hell.
And if I worship You in hope of Paradise, exclude me from Paradise.
But if I worship You for Your Own sake,
grudge me not Your everlasting Beauty." -Rabia Al-'Adawiyya
"I doubt. I doubt my doubt. Doubt itself is uncertain! I love, but who is it for whom I sigh? Not muslim, yet not heathen, who am I?"
- Fareed Ad-Deen Al-Attar, Conference of the Birds
"Then I applied myself to the understanding of wisdom, and also of madness and folly; but I learned that this too, is a chasing after wind. For with much wisdom, comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief." -Qohelet, Ecclesiastes 1:17-18
"Nothing is true, everything is permitted."- Hassan ibn Sabbah
"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense." -Buddha
"Either God wants to abolish evil, and cannot; or he can, but does not want to. If he wants to, but cannot, he is impotent. If he can, but does not want to, he is wicked. If God can abolish evil, and God really wants to do it, why is there evil in the world?" -Epicurus
"Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones." -Marcus Aurelius
"I believe in the religion of love, whatever direction it's caravans may take. For love is my religion and my faith" -Ibn 'Arabi
