When Veins Ignite: Either Integration or Degradation Quotes

“The Personal Sonnet If you want to be heard, You must learn to listen. If you want to be trusted, You must keep trustin'. If you want to grow, You must first evolve. If you want to be happy, Let yourself dissolve. If you want to smile, You must learn to give. If you want to lead, Help others to live. Law of the jungle is self-preservation. Law of society is collective ascension.”

“This is Not Us (The Sonnet) This is not us, Practicing savages abhorrent. This is not sapiens, Intelligent yet filthy indifferent. Some think we are advanced, But self-absorption is no advancement. Some say we have built a free world, But irresponsible freedom is mere derangement. Fancy clothes and accessories make no human, Nor do those shallow etiquettes. When we have no kindness for others, We are just good-looking cannibals. This cannot be the definition of humanity. Need of the hour is a life of inclusivity.”

“Normal human behavior is community, not self-obsession - normal human behavior is reasoning, not superstition - normal human behavior is warmth, not discrimination - normal human behavior means a plain ordinary decency towards every single human being on earth, not a suspicious condescension.”

“Woke and cancel culture are both signs of a judgmental culture, not a mentally mature one. A world where you cannot even speak to another person without worrying about what they are going to think of you, has not advanced much from the days when the white people used to own slaves. Let me tell you this, if you are kind, if you are compassionate, if you hold no discrimination towards people whatsoever, then you have no reason to worry about whether you are woke enough.”
