“I believe that things like presumption of innocence has its practical applications,” I said, “but presumption of innocence also comprises proving that a person is guilty (or innocent) after that presumption. That’s why we say presumption of innocence before PROVEN guilty. I do see why trust is good, but I don’t want it to be blind. Presumption of innocence requires some trust in the accused, but at least it’s not blind trust in the accused! I want trust to be justified by reason and evidence. That type of submission is just blind trust.”

“By definition, believing in oneself is acknowledging one’s capabilities, which is essential, so their existence could be more likely to be productive and meaningful (seriously, if one does not realize one’s capabilities, he/she would struggle to manage and direct those capabilities in a way that is productive to accomplishing certain goals), but everyone who knows about the essentiality of believing in oneself does have the potential to believe in other people, since, you know, they can objectively ascertain their own capabilities, so all they would have to do is do the same thing, but with different people.”

“We have lost the capacity to trust, to love. We have lost the sensitivity to feel the infinite around us. We have forgotten how to relate with the totality. We have forgotten how to relate to trees, birds, animals, rivers and people. We have even forgotten how to relate with our own self, with our own body and with our own mind. We are living unrelated and meaningless, which is why a sadness is surrounding the whole humanity.”

“I've always wondered why we defend our weaknesses and slight our greatness. We never try 'hard enough' and even prevent our friends and family from trying to achieve their greatness by doubting and laughing at their dreams and ambitions, yet complain about the world being unfair for us. What kind of mental illness is this, and why has it become normal, so that we can't even recognize it?”
