Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper Quotes

“The terrorists you call pilgrims, did not immigrate, they invaded, pillaged and plundered a continent, they even plagiarized its name into a symbol of atrocity and violation, just like the nazis heisted a holy symbol from the east, and turned the sacred Swastika into the global icon of hate.”

“The Uncultured Linguist (Sonnet) The way apes understand what's cultured, I'm not that sort of cultured - I'm humanly cultured - which means, I live as cure for tribalism, not coddle; I abolish chains, not worship them, I do not entertain stereotypes - I question and denounce prejudice, both external and internal. MAGA, Zionism, Hindutva, Prima gli Italiani, Khalistan, Islamism, Türkiye Yüzyılı, these are proof, we come from the monkeys; while humans take a snooze, monkeys roam free. Dogma is barrier to understanding, blind faith is obstacle to holiness. Assumption is obstacle to communication, stereotypes are obstacle to awareness.”

“Never Serve Your Nation (Sonnet) Educate your children never to serve your nation; to serve the nation makes monkey out of human, killing on the basis of nationality and religion. If you wanna serve your nation, serve through science, serve through art, serve through music, literature, industry, but never through military. However, if you wanna make crime your career, with all the glorious decorations - kill one person, it's murder - kill in bulk, it's patriotism. Soldiers are just glorified webcam models, standing erect to serve political libido. Be the human your flesh appears to be, or go back to the jungle, your mind is suited so. Science, arts, music, innovation, that's how you serve a nation. There is no greater dipsomaniac profession, than militarist infestation.”

“Pilgrims and Nazis (Sonnet 2220) The terrorists you call pilgrims, did not immigrate, they invaded, pillaged and plundered a continent, they even plagiarized its name into a symbol of atrocity and violation, just like the nazis heisted a holy symbol from the east, and turned the sacred Swastika into the global icon of hate. History books are all messed up, none teaches the history of humans - world history was written by animals, to maintain their narrative unchallenged. The West broke the world, now the human race gotta resurrect the world, offspring of the terrorists and terrorized alike - but we can do nothing at all, till we decolonize our mind.”

“How to tell a human from ape, when both look the same? Look for the creature that considers everyone outside their religion a heathen, and everyone outside their culture a heretic - that's a textbook ape. Now look for the being that finds the same human spirit in every culture, religion and nation - that right there, is a rare human specimen.”

“Politicians are professional gaslighters, they gaslight people against people, neighbor against neighbor, brother against brother, humanity against humanity - that's how they stay in business. And the fact that we've evolved from the apes, doesn't help much - our jungle instincts of tribalism don't need much coaxing to be blown into fully fledged war, between cultures, between religions, between nations.”

“No literature is infallible, but while errors in scientific literature are proudly mended by later scientists, errors in religious literature are rarely mended - they are interpreted, reinterpreted, and justified in a million ways, but never questioned, as very few persons of faith have got the brain and backbone to acknowledge errors, let alone correct them - this is not holiness, it's blindness most primitive.”

“No literature is infallible, but while errors in scientific literature are proudly mended by later scientists, errors in religious literature are rarely mended - they are interpreted, reinterpreted, and justified in a million ways, but never questioned, as very few persons of faith have got the brain and backbone to acknowledge errors, let alone correct them - this is not holiness, it's blindness most primitive. Reverence without revision isn't sanctity, it's stagnation - and stagnation might feel honorous, but it leads to devolution. Just because it's habit doesn't make it holy - admission of error is the beginning of enlightenment.”

“Stand Human Anyway (Sonnet 2262) If Jesus didn't exist, Moses didn't exist, Mohammed didn't exist, Vyas and Sid didn't exist, I'll still stand just as divine, just as alive, just as human. If the bible didn't exist, koran didn't exist, torah didn't exist, and vedas didn't exist, I'll still stand just as sacred, just as aware, just as human. If I didn't exist, my writings didn't exist, stand human anyway, within you is the ore. Don't outsource, you are the source, feet rooted in soil, not shackled in folklore.”
