Either Reformist or Terrorist: If You Are Terror I Am Your Grandfather Quotes

“In a world where indifference is deemed as sanity what's needed is a whole lot of mentalness, a whole lot of insanity, insanity for justice, insanity for equality, insanity for establishing the fundamental rights of life and living for each and every human being.”

“People are worried that machines will take over the world and then they’ll have no voice any more. Well - what voice do you have today, despite having a voice! You are already puppets to your political overlords. You don’t think for yourself, you don’t feel for yourself, you don’t behave for yourself - heck, that’s why you have election in the first place - not so you could choose a leader, but so you don’t have to take any responsibility. And you are still worried about machines taking over your lives! Your lives are already taken over, not by mechanical deities but by organic sectarian deities born of the womb of your own indifference. So forget about a fictitious future which may or may not happen and pay attention to the real threat that haunts the society in the present - namely, your own indifference.”

“What exactly do we have in this chest of ours - heart or ham? How can we be so cold, how can we be so indifferent, how can we be so utterly dead and rotten, that the cry of others never reach our ears, whether they are five thousand miles away or five meters!”

“A child who cares for their friends is an adult, whereas an adult who doesn't care for their neighbor is a child. A child who cares for their friends is a reformist, whereas an adult who keeps quiet while their neighbor is mistreated is a terrorist.”

“Drunk, Insane & Uneducated (The Sonnet) We live in a world where the sane, Are more insane than the clinically insane. Greed and apathy are worse of all ailments, They make a society narrow and vain. We live in a world where the educated, Are more ignorant than the uneducated. Arrogance and egotism are sacrilege of education, They make a savage out of the most learned. We live in a world where the sober, Are more drunk than a sick alcoholic. Coldness makes vegetable out of a human, Then they cuss accountability as idealistic. I'm drunk and insane, with no education whatsoever. And these are the signs of a person sane, sober and seer.”

“Many of the haters call me mental, which, by the way, is quite true, both metaphorically and clinically. It's true clinically because I am a person on the spectrum with OCD, and metaphorically, because I refuse to accept the sanity of unaccountability as the right way of civilized life. I am not going to glorify the issues of mental illness by saying that it's a super power or that it makes a person special. On the contrary, it makes things extremely difficult for a person. But guess what! Indifference is far more dangerous than any mental illness. Because mental illness can be managed with treatment, but there is no treatment for indifference, there is no treatment for coldness, there is no treatment for apathy. So, let everyone hear it, and hear it well - in a world where indifference is deemed as sanity what's needed is a whole lot of mentalness, a whole lot of insanity, insanity for justice, insanity for equality, insanity for establishing the fundamental rights of life and living for each and every human being, no matter who they are, what they are, or where they are.”
