A.D. Aliwat
“People deserve the benefit of the doubt, but information? Always hold it up to a cold white light. Misinformation is a tool of the Devil.”
A.D. Aliwat, In Limbo

“Don't believe everything you think":

Question your inner narrative: Our thoughts can be biased and influenced by emotions. Regularly challenge your assumptions to get a clearer picture.
Thoughts are clouds, not facts: Let fleeting thoughts drift by without getting caught in their rain. Observe them, but don't base your reality on them.
Be your own fact-checker: Don't accept your initial thoughts as truth. Verify information and consider different perspectives before reaching conclusions.”
Monika Ajay Kaul
