The Essence of Truth is Invisible To The Eye…

"Goodbye," said the fox.

"Here is my secret. It's very simple: One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes."

The Little Prince repeated, so he would remember: "Anything essential is invisible to the eyes."

Recently, I experienced something that made me start seeing everything from a different perspective, and I was reminded of the words from The Little Prince: "Anything essential is invisible to the eyes."

When I read the book again, these sentences kept echoing in my mind. Everyone sees others with their heart...

Even during the day, a person inevitably forms judgments about what they see and hear. But perhaps what appears on the surface is entirely different. I think this is why we need to question what we see; as the fox said, we need to look with our hearts to see the truth. When I looked with my heart, I understood what had happened. If there are people and situations that hold a place in your life, one should not give up. Perhaps it's necessary to strive to learn the truth.

We should never forget the saying, "Never give up on something you believe in." Actually, I would like to modify this sentence for us: "Never give up on anything your heart believes to be true."

I can almost hear you asking, "But how do we know what is true?" That's when we need to learn to look with our hearts. Even if it hurts sometimes, in the end, it will guide us to the right path.

I'm sure that while reading this, everyone has questioned a few things in their life. Because as human beings, we want to be sure that we're doing the right thing, choosing the right side, or making the right decision. You know your own truths best. The more you listen to your heart, the more confident you become in your own truths.

And when we're unable to decide, let's not forget the words of the philosopher Lao Tzu:

"When you are unable to make a decision, return to the stillness within you." 

Because the essence of truth can only be seen with our hearts...
