Quote by L.J. Shen

“Being good makes me sleep better at night. It's not that I don't suffer from there same symptoms as you--jealousy, heartache, insecurity. They're the side effects of being alive, pretty much... The gap between reality and our dreams? That's were life is tucked.”

“You don't need to memorize the bible - you don't need to turn water into wine - you don't need to have an unlimited supply of bread in your basket to be a miracle worker, you just need to have the capacity to share the one bread you have with someone hungry.”

“Sonnet of Nation Building Nation means not land, Nation means not border. Nation means sentience and sanity, Nation means willing to treat disorder. Nation means not habit, Nation means not tradition. Nation means reason and acceptance, Nation means conscious amalgamation. Nations means not law, Nations means not policy. Nation means a genuine goodness, Nation means an accountable citizenry. In the name of nation do not act tribal. Nation without narrowness is a land universal.”

“Either Aşkistan or Junglistan (A Sonnet) Ours is either aşkistan, Land of love founded on amity, Or it is an archaic junglistan, Run by contagious self-centricity. What is civilized is also unselfish, For selfishness makes the animal, Across the self there is humanity, What is unselfish is also accountable. Technology may bring comfort, But it doesn't ensure ascension, When comfort belongs to the privileged, Such progress is mere descension. Over 3 billion years have gone in selfishness, It's time to unself our soul and rise as sapiens.”

“Sonnet of People (The Sonnet) All is well when there's people with us, Without ‘em life is sugarcane without sugar, All is meaningful when there's people with us, Without ‘em life is a painting without color. People are the blood in my veins, I can breathe without oxygen but not people, Thus speaks the being called human, Thus lives the sapiens who's brave and noble. Community means compatriot unity, Unity means undivided amity, Amity means affectionate sanity, Sanity means serene humanity. Now one ponders the meaning of humanity. It means humble and affectionate for eternity.”
