“Sonnet of Unlearning
Peace is not a matter of learning harmony,
It's about unlearning division.
Science is not about learning logic,
It's about unlearning superstition.
Health is not about learning medicine,
It's about unlearning over-indulgence.
Justice is not about learning accountability,
It's about unlearning indifference.
Order is not about learning law,
It's about unlearning recklessness.
Holiness is not about learning scripture,
It's about unlearning hatefulness.
More than learning, we got plenty to unlearn.
All of it starts with unsubmission to tradition.”

“Indifference is the only thing left once true love dies.”
“Practical Mindfulness (The Sonnet)
When someone's world is crumbling down,
Reach out to lend a shoulder not analysis.
If the world had more carers and sharers,
We wouldn't need the services of therapists.
Most humans are raised to be selfish robots,
Then they spend their life on a therapist's sofa.
When someone's going through a period of grief,
Only the mindless comments, 'have you tried yoga!'
For the human mind to be whole and healthy,
You gotta empty it of all the unhealthy junk.
And there is no greater junk on the face of earth,
Than the traditions that make us self-centric drunk.
Elimination of coldness is the highest of all wisdom.
Treat the common cold, and you'll treat all descension.”

“I walk through our front door, give it a good slam, and wait for a reaction. All I get is a house full of indifference.”

“The best kind of pleasure comes from the indifference to pain … and pleasure.”
“I, after so much isolation, so much indifference, kept going
even if going meant only waiting, hovering in place. So far below, so far
away from the rest of life....”

“Comedy is the art of making people laugh without making them puke.”
“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.”

“What he had not known was that, at any given time, that first nature could return to a man, unchanged by al the pursuits and passions and experiences of his life; untouched even by the tastes and intellectual activities which have been strong enough to give him distinction among his fellows and to have made for him, as they say, a name in the world. Perhaps this revision did not often occur, but he knew it had happened to him, and he suspected it had happened to his grandfather. He did not regret his life, but he was indifferent to it. It seemed to him like the life of another person.”
