Buddha Quote
"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense." ~BuddhaI chose the quote above because it seemed to have a deep meaning and it would be very useful for people today to know about. What Buddha explains in this quote is simple, its just like the whole: "If your friends did (insert insane stunt here), would you do the same?" The Buddha is saying that everything in the world is nothing or is not right unless it agrees with what you obviously know is right and wrong. It also implies that your common sense and reasoning is one of you most powerful tools and shouldn't be underestimated. I believe that this is a very meaningful and deep quote and I would wish that everyone would be able to read it and understand it.
Throughout the Buddha's life there were many who said that he wasn't strong enough or was not wise enough to go on the journey for enlightenment. He proved them wrong by believing himself and not believing what they were saying and using his own intellect to find the thing that was right to do.
