The Gentalist: There's No Social Work, Only Family Work Quotes

“Sonnet of Human Duty To deliver humanity from inhumanity, Is the duty of every human. To deliver the innocent from injustice, Is the duty of every human. The indifferent may call it god complex, Apathetic pessimists may call it idealism. I call it the meaning of life and sanity, The opposite is just a sign of doofusism. Differences won't destroy the world, Indifference is far more ominous. The problem is not the evil doers, But the silent spectators. Mark me well, the day I stay silent is the day, Lady liberty throws her torch away.”

“Kindness No Obligation (The Sonnet) Those who feel kindness is an obligation, Don't really feel but crawl as walking dead. Those who think society ain't their responsibility, Don’t think, they're just specimens of mental midget. Giants are those who lay themselves down, For the welfare of every single soul around. Intellect is a tool for, not a subject of, greatness and glory, The root of all greatness is a gentle heart unbound. Kindness is more than a trait, just like accountability, These things make a human out of an animal. Selfishness is more than a flaw, just like egotism, These things keep an animal from becoming human. Little selfishness is ok so long as your humanity is in charge. We've been animal long enough, now let's be giants on guard.”

“People Over Path (The Sonnet) Celebrities defend vanity, Intellectuals defend intellect, Preachers defend scriptures, Scientists defend factual evidence. I found plenty of human professions, But in none of them I found a human. All are obsessed to defend their path, Yet all paths are dead without a human. No matter who we are or what we are, Above all else our identity is humanness. If this simple fact is still not clear enough, All vanity, intellect, texts and science are baseless. Before defending a puny path, let us take a human peek. If we must defend, let us defend the helpless and weak.”

“Selfishness is the enemy. And all peddlers of selfishness are my enemy. Anyone who wastes more food than they share with those who are starving is my enemy - anyone who throws away more clothes than they give away to those without is my enemy - anyone who wastes more time in frivolous acts of enjoyment than they spend in helping those in need is my enemy - for they are the cause of all disparities in the world. I don't hate them, for I renounced hate long ago, but as a human it’s my duty to bring them down to earth while lifting the fallen up to their rightful place under the sun.”

“Beyond Politics (The Sonnet) Changing leadership, changing party, These ain’t change, but same old tribalism. Changing the shape and name of tribalism, Is not end of tribalism, but recurring tribalism. If you really want to bring actual change, Aim for a non-tribal society, one of nonsectarianism. Replacing one sect with another may feel like change, But it's just another form of unchanging divisionism. Real change is when civic duty turns common sanity, When there's no community service, only life and living. The supreme policy is that of individual accountability, True order comes through collectivity, not policing. Stop relying on politicians for every little trouble. And the world will be a place without political turmoil.”
