Looking for a good book to read and a great teacher to listen to? Here is a good book and here is a great teacher: Other cultures! To read this book and to listen to this teacher, all you need is to travel!

The more you keep your door closed, the more you will rot! Open your door! Let different ideas, different beliefs, different cultures and different attitudes flow into your mind. Anything different will help you to enlarge your little world! By opening your door, you invite the whole universe to your tiny house! Enlarge your house and enrich yourself! As long as your door remains closed, you shall continue rotting in your poor world!

You will get closer to the truths only when you start thinking this way: My religion is not the best religion, my country is not the best country, my culture is not the best culture, and my life is not the best life! The more you move away from arrogance, pride and prejudice, the more you will get closer to the truth!

To live only your own culture is to bury yourself to your local graveyard! Know the world, live the world! And through knowing new things and living new things, you will have a new culture made by your own experiences!

Your culture is your limit; if you can’t go beyond it, you will remain as a frog of your little lake!

There is no other force in the world that builds more prisons than cultures! And if your culture has become your prison, the only way out is to get out of your culture!

If a culture severely limits you both mentally and physically, find a way to get rid of that culture! And those who need to do this first are the ones most affected by such oppressive cultures, women!

Do you see your own culture as the most beautiful and perfect culture? You poor fellow! You are so much poor when you lack the beauty and wisdom of other cultures! Why is honey precious? Because honey is not the child of one flower, but a thousand flowers!

There are good things in every culture and respecting a culture must only mean respecting the good things in that culture! If you respect a culture as a whole, you promote the bad things in that culture and this is a serious mistake!
