Giants in Jeans: 100 Sonnets of United Earth Quotes

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 19 Be humble to the lowly, And gentle to weak. Be a dinosaur to the phony, And a stone wall to the critic. It is a mad, mad world, Where the naïve is up for abuse. Be naïve and simple on the inside, But learn when it's time to act a douche. Some bullies only understand strength, If needed keep your strength at hand. A few firm roars of your conviction, Will make the oppressors wet their pants. But be very cautious while using your strength, Reckless power turns even a saint into tyrant.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 25 Wanna know about people's character? Walk around in shabby clothes. Wanna know who's wise, who's egotistical? Be the dumbest despite your brainforce. Never try to impress people. The more you try, the more they lose interest. Nourish your warmth and kindness instead, Those who care will reach out themselves. But always remember one little thing, You can either have life or calculation. Calculate where it's needed, But not in every situation. Lovers and soldiers are the only ones living, Rest of society is just dehydrating.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 54 It is human nature to shed tears in agony, But taking pain to wipe another's tear is humanity. It's human nature to be sad at the loss of something, But giving up all to lift another is humanity. It is human nature to reply harm with more harm, But to stand unbending without violence is humanity. It is human nature to reply argument with argument, But knowing when to lose an argument is humanity. It is human nature to win by dragging others down, But defying competition to live a purpose is humanity. It is human nature to blame disparity on politicians, But to step up ensuring equity in one's area is humanity. Just because it’s human nature, doesn't make it civilized. We shall be civilized when we are no longer hypnotized.”

“Sonnet of Charity Charity doesn't end disparity, It only postpones it. Giving doesn't mean only giving, It means lifting the fallen spirit. With one hand help those in need, With another treat their environment. Don't just give money to the destitute, Lift them up so they could help themselves. The greatest charity in the world, Is to help someone become self-reliant, So that they do not need charity, From anyone ever again. Purpose of charity is not to build a world of charity, Purpose of charity is to end the need for charity.”

“Sonnet of Blood and Water Blood may be thicker than water, But water is far greater than blood. Blood may discriminate between people, Water saves all without a single word. Even while helping the wounded, Blood discriminates both in mind and medicine. But to put out the fire of someone's thirst, Water doesn't care about a single thing. Now tell me which one deserves all the glory, Tell me which one is greater, Is it blood that's prejudiced all the time, Or is it the life-giving water? All care for blood and family first, Few can make a family out of the world.”
