Solo Standing on Guard: Life Before Law Quotes

“Sonnet of Care This is what care looks like, Pure and chaste loving without reward. This is what conscience looks like, Strong and just reasoning with warmth. This is what nobility looks like, Humble and kind correcting one's error. This is what courage looks like, Firm and unbending walking across fear. This is what sentience looks like, Awake and upright marching with resolve. This is what character looks like, Messy and flawed but not afraid to evolve. Each human is a reflection of all humanity. Individual action determines collective destiny.”

“Each citizen must become a government unto themselves - each citizen must become law unto themselves. In other words, each citizen must become a living constitution unto themselves, with the emphasis on living, which means ever-evolving and never-rigid. Be an example of growth in the world and the world will start to grow around you out of its disparities, biases and prejudices.”

“Thus Speaks The Human (A Sonnet) I am my government, I write my own laws. I need no congress to define rightness, An alive conscience needs no one to endorse. We barely grew out of the bible, And already replaced it with constitution. Before we feared an imaginary god, Now we give law our total submission. Law and policy may have their place, But they are no pillars of society. The only pillar is human conviction, All else are shallow mockery. One who needs law is yet to be civilized. Be accountable and all will be humanized.”
