picture in my mind

I wish I didn’t have to fall into these pits of sadness,
and get trapped by certain ways of thinking —
But Alhamdulillah when I finally step out.


“When we look at the outside world,
we are looking at only a small part that interests us.
The world we see is not the entire universe
but a limited one that the mind cares about.
However, to our minds, that small world is the entire universe.
Our reality is not the infinitely stretching cosmos
but the small part we choose to focus on.
Reality exists because our minds exists.
Without the mind,
there would be no universe.”
