Words are a pretext. It is the inner bond that draws one person to another, not words.

ITREB Thought of the Day: #WednesdayWisdom
We are all born with wisdom that cannot be learned. Throughout our lives, we are told by others what to do. For the most part, people — be it our parents, teachers, friends, or colleagues — want what's best for us, and hope for us to to benefit from their experience. While often helpful, the insights they offer cannot compare with what already exists within us. Ramadan is an opportune time for us to spend more time tapping into this inner wisdom. This wisdom inside of us is a source of discernment and our ability to identify blessings in disguise. While we may not be able to practice many of the communal aspects of Ramadan right now, we can use this time to look inwardly and listen to the eternal wisdom of our soul.
