Radiance
When I have seen people in the past, whether their skin is white or black or anything else, I have never even once looked at them and thought “oh, that’s a black person” or “oh, that’s a white person”. Up until recently, where the constantly contended issues in which (in my view) irrelevant weight is…

About the burnings of the Holy Quran
Dear Muslims, You now have the greatest chance to prove to the world, the vastness of your religion’s complexity and its deep ability to handle conflict. It is now that you have a chance to show the world a mark of your religion’s tolerance and peace. It is now that you can show the greatness…

Pure rain
Can you imagine calling someone a racist for dancing in the rain and sharing the instance? This is what is happening in today’s discussions. Take care, and stay far away from anything that seeks to diminish and extinguish your light. Don’t let it get to you. Your worth is above it. Whoever you are.

Is truth a card?
The typical saying of that when you point a finger, three points back at you? It is indeed timeless. I once saw a picture in a window, facing the public, saying ”Give the red card to racism!”. How one could want to do such a thing is another topic. But it inspired this post. People…

Life misses you
I feel like when one positions one’s perception of things within life on a large-scale level (such as global politics and activism), then life, its meaning and innocence begins to suffer. One gets so caught up in the tides of fluctuating thinking and incriminating principles that one begins to forget and lose sight of what…

Movie review: Elemental
I watched the movie Elemental by Disney, and was very excited because I thought they were going to creatively explore and experiment with the elements, just like they have done with other things in earlier movies. I have loved Disney movies since I was little, so as a grownup I hoped to find a moment…

Morality is happiness
I feel like the happiest person in the world. (Though of course, I am also weighed down by many things too. But one can be both things at once; the sweet spot of life’s congruency.) This is because I have a secret that I live by. Namely: I render what is due to others. I…

Assimilation
I recently wrote about assimilation. I would like to clarify something. Assimilation doesn’t mean that different cultures, traditions and norms can never be practiced within a society that prefers a specific form of these things. It also doesn’t mean that we cannot have healthy debate about which aspects of cultures are good or bad, cross-culturally.…

National integrity
Diversity and multiculturalism presumes that all cultures are good or equally good, when they aren’t, depending on which frame of reference one starts from. Some cultures or cultural aspects are a matter of taste and personal (in this case national) inclinations, while others are bad on a moral, universal or human level for example. It’s…

Never!
I will never let someone take the innocence of my mind from me. And I will never let it be impregnated by superficial and double standard ideals and politics! I will never let it be tainted by problematic solutions, just because they’re in reach. And I will never let it be clawed by those on…
