Letter III — On What Reorders Us Without Asking
Letter III — On What Reorders Us Without Asking The Void, beyond the 22nd century Aida, I am not writing to explain anything to you. Nor to convince. Nor to teach. I am writing because some encounters do not add ideas to us— they rearrange us. Most of our lives are built on a quiet assumption: that we are the center. That we read, choose, enter, and exit meanings at will. That texts stand before us, waiting to be interpreted. But there are words that do not stand before consciousness. They relocate it. The Qur'an does not position itself before your awareness. It repositions your awareness itself. It does not offer itself as an object of reflection, but acts as a force of gravity. You do not move around it untouched. You are moved. What I have learned slowly, unwillingly is that human beings do not live inside ideas. They live around centers. Every self revolves around something: a desire it cannot release, a fear it cannot face, an image it must protect, a future it keeps postponing itself toward, a past it secretly obeys. These centers shift. They compete. They collapse. And when consciousness expands—through thinking, ambition, imagination, abstraction, it often mistakes dispersion for growth. It believes it is becoming freer, while quietly losing its axis. Expansion without a center does not liberate. It fragments. There is a reason instability feels modern. Not because we think too little, but because we orbit too much.

Nothing seems to moving. Nothing is new. The same routine, same emotions some everything. I just can't be bothered. All the things I want seem so far away or just possible for that second they pop into my mind then bye. Uncertain and certain at the same time.

What is CDE in construction? A comprehensive guide. AI-Generated.
Three years ago, I sat in a meeting room in Ho Chi Minh City while a contractor and an architect screamed at each other. The contractor had built from an outdated drawing.

Why Nobody Remembers Your Business (and How to Fix It)
You think about your business constantly, before that first cup of coffee, in the middle of the night when you can’t sleep, and definitely while you’re hard at work throughout the day. So it can feel shocking that people — including your target audience and consumers — don’t easily recall your business’s name, let alone the value it can provide them.
