The Space Between What We Are Taught and What We Believe

A closed system doesn't simply have beliefs. It has rules about believing.

And once questioning itself becomes a problem, that little space begins to disappear.

I've come to think that one of the greatest gifts we can give another person is not our answers. It's room for them to develop their own.

Because I don't want someone else's inner world to become a copy of mine.

I want them to have their own.

Perhaps that's one of the quiet forms of freedom we don't talk about enough: the freedom to have your own mind.
