“How can my limitations in humanity bring me the truth? How can I find truth that I don't know?”

“The only way is not humans to come to find the truth. Because if so, then they will get lost. How can humans find what they don't know? Therefore, humans are only possible to let the truth come knocking on the door so that they get enlightenment. They become blessed. Not by his own will, but because of the desire of the truth itself.”

Titon Rahmawan

“Human beings have this peculiar capacity that no other creatures have: I know how I can be hurt, because I am aware of my own limitations–painfully aware—and now, because I know how I can be hurt, I know how you can be hurt, and I can take advantage of that. And that's how evil enters the world.”

Jordan Peterson (1962) Canadian clinical psychologist, cultural critic, and professor of psychology
