Handcrafted Humanity: 100 Sonnets For A Blunderful World Quotes

“Sonnet of Science Science is but a bridge of time, it can, Either take us forward or dump us in prehistory. Science alone does not ensure our advancement, Unless it's practiced with warmth and accountability. Sheer reason without any sentiment is, As dangerous as sheer sentiment without any reason. In order to forge a world fit for humans, We must break the ice between reason and emotion. Problem is that we like picking sides, Either we are too emotional or too rational. A civilized human ought to be none of that, A civilized human acts upon the need of the situation. So I say o mighty human, be not an intellectual moron. Science is a means of service, not intellectual gratification.”

“Lover off The Street (A Sonnet) Beauty and bliss are all around, When my feet walk alongside yours. Life reaches the pinnacle of being, When I'm annihilated for a smile of yours. Climbed plenty hills, trotted plenty jungle, Nowhere did I find a drop of sanity. Then I stood crazy before your radiance, And I got drenched in beams of serenity. I am but a naïve lover off the street, Without a single trace of intellect. The only thing that I've learnt in life is, In your happiness lies my upliftment. Business is measured by how much we receive, Life is realized when we stand hellbent to give.”

“Fate and Future (The Sonnet) Fate and future both are servant to the determined, For they are nothing but creation of human determination. Yet most of humanity remain oblivious to this simple fact, For they’re born and raised in a society run by indoctrination. Reason and questions are seen as treason against heritage, Submission and guilt are praised as honorable righteousness. Calling ignorance as righteousness doesn't make one righteous, You are righteous when you have the guts to mend mistakes. Ignorance is part of life, so is our drive for self-aggrandizing, It's human to make mistakes, what's not, is their glorification. Acknowledge your mistakes, biases, ignorance and prejudice, We start to rise when we acknowledge our degradation. Our ancestors were primitive humans with unused goodness. If we die primitive like they did, why live in the first place!”

“Handcrafted Humanity Sonnet 7 Give, give and give again, To give without reserve is living. Fall, fall and fall again, To fall without stopping is rising. Break, break and break again, To break without bending is integrity. Lose, lose and lose again, To lose without submitting is victory. Love, love and love again, To love despite being fooled is sanity. Help, help and help again, To help despite being deceived is humanity. To give is to live, that is the civilized normal. Kindness alone sets the human apart from animal.”

“Handcrafted Humanity Sonnet 19 It takes awareness to be human, To be animal it takes none. It takes moderation to be human, To be animal it takes none. It takes regulation to be human, To be animal it takes none. It takes restraint to be human, To be animal it takes none. It takes gentleness to be human, To be animal it takes none. It takes humility to be human, To be animal it takes none. Everything civilized starts with awareness. But if you like being animal let go off all restraint.”

“Handcrafted Humanity Sonnet 95 Nature always tries to trick us most strongly, Into being a filthy bunch of egotistical morons. If we stand true to our conviction of community, No cockeyed canine is gonna dictate our terms. Survival of the fittest is the motto of animal, Sacrifice for the helpless is the motto of human. The decision is to be made by none but you, What'll you spend your life as - animal or human! Let's not spend another day with cold shoulder, Let us rather put all of our shoulders together. Only then we will be a tad stronger than history, And rise as the mightiest descendant of Nature. To conquer ourselves is to conquer space and time. We live the fullest when we live as people's lifeline.”

“One Life, One Idea (The Sonnet) One life, one idea, one duty – love. One body, one being, one vision – amity. One heart, one sight, one sentiment – care. One mind, one kind, one community – humanity. One pen, one ink, one paper – awareness. One hive, one height, one light – assimilation. One kite, one compass, one flight – unity. One sail, one sea, one ship - self-correction. One gospel, one goal, one gamble – collectivity. One cult, one core, one culture – unification. One church, one mosque, one temple – nonduality. One road, one reason, one reality – nondifferentiation. Take the mind beyond the bind to see the world anew. A world united comes to life when walls turn dust in you.”

“Sonnet of Rulers The only people who'll rule the world, Are the ones who want to rule not a being. The only people to inherit the earth, Are the ones who want to inherit nothing. The only people who win hearts, Are those who give all without question. The only people who become family to all, Are those who walk without assumption. The only people who never die, Are those who happily die for others. The only people who are the happiest, Are those who have no trace of selfish desires. Selfishness is synonym for suffering and misery. Joy is just a byproduct of service to humanity.”

“Sonnet of Intolerance Intolerance and religion don't go together, If they do, you are a far cry from being religious. Intolerance and science don't go together, If they do, such science is just modern hogwash. Intolerance and philosophy don't go together, If they do, you are a dickhearted intellectualist. Intolerance and humanism don't go together, If they do, you are a far cry from being humanist. Intolerance and intellect don't go together, If they do, such intellect is all blade, no handle. Intolerance and wisdom don't go together, If they do, you are but a sophisticated vandal. Anything that is civilized helps abolish intolerance, If it doesn't, it is yet another prehistoric nuisance.”
