“From Hinduism to the monotheisms through to Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, the common message is that we are all, naturally and potentially, inclined to reject the other, and to be intolerant and racist. Left to our own devices and our own emotions, we can be deaf, blind, dogmatic, closed and xenophobic: we are not born open-minded, respectful and pluralist. We become so through personal effort, education, self-mastery and knowledge.”
― Tariq Ramadan
3 Questions
When I meet a new person, I am interested in learning about their struggles. I believe these 3 questions reveal a lot about a person, their struggles, their resilience, their attitude towards life, their strength to carry on and move mountains. If they are willing to share their struggles with me I know they are proud of something. Whether it's their ability to identify, acknowledge or overcome, there is something they are proud of. When someone's eyes light up I know I have a story that will teach me something extremely remarkable and valuable and that means a world to me.
