Krishnamurti:

Truth is to be discovered and understood in every action, in every thought, in every feeling, however trivial or transient; it is to be observed at each moment of every day; it is to be listened to in what the husband and the wife say, in what the gardener says, in what your friends say, and in the process of your own thinking. Your thinking may be false, it may be conditioned, limited; and to discover that your thinking is conditioned, limited, is truth. That very discovery sets your mind free from limitation. If you discover that you are greedy - if you discover it, and are not just told by somebody else - that discovery is truth, and that truth has its own action upon your greed.

Deep down, everyone knows their own truths, I think. But being able to find that spot is difficult.

I just watched a video about labels. Labels are easy to critique, but isn't any word a label? At heart, I agree with the critique; I have always felt that language is so limiting. It's just a label for whatever concept you want to express. The most important things have no words.

But words are convenient for expressing a feeling or request. So in the same way we use words, it's convenient for me to call myself whatever. And sometimes I avoid those labels because it makes people think of stereotypes. Labels are just like any other words, but any less useful.

I hear a lot of strange things when I meditate. Lots of screaming lately. My mind doesn't want to do it. But no matter what story I tell myself, I know it is important for me long-term.
