“Right now all we have is sheer mockery of humanity, that's why we try to comfort ourselves with shallow notions of humanitarianism, charity and holiness.”

“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.”

“Humanity is the highest form of love there is, and love needs no lobby, label or ideology, for love itself is everything that is human about us - we are either living in it, enveloped in its wholeness or we are analyzing it with intellect from outside while dying for a taste of it.”

“If you need a god, keep it - everybody has imaginary friends, my imaginary friend is my late teacher, and I find it therapeutic to talk to him whenever I hit rock bottom. It's just something we humans need to survive, quite like water and food! The last thing this world needs is more war to prove whose imaginary friend is better than the rest.”

“The Social Welfare Sonnet
I have no problem with capitalism,
I have problem when it's devoid of society.
I have no problem with innovation,
I have problem when it lacks accountability.
I have no problem with religion,
I have problem when it's run by bigotry.
I have no problem with intellect,
I have problem when it lacks decency.
I have no problem with advancement,
I have problem when it facilitates disparity.
I have no problem with politics,
I have problem when it loses all sanity.
No field is evil entire of its own.
Evil festers when we forget we can’t progress alone.”

“Human Helpline (The Sonnet)
Neither Christ, nor Krishna, nor Superman,
No imagination can rescue humanity.
Each of us is the only helpline,
Human salvation is human responsibility.
Enough with these prayer and rituals,
Now awake from the sleep of subjugation.
As heroes fraught with reason and conscience,
We must rise to break all submission.
Progress demands a life of revolution,
Self-induced slavery won't do.
The more you seek a savior outside,
The more you turn into boneless goo.
Of all life on earth the human being is peerless.
Only those called sapiens roar for the helpless.”

“I am not left or right, I am a human. And if someone sounds more aligned with my ideas, it doesn’t necessarily mean they are left, it just means they have a more practical, community-centric and self-correcting grasp of humanity than those who are self-absorbed, self-righteous and self-serving.”

Solidarity conquers agony,

“For the liberal humanist legacy to which Ditchkins is in indebted, love can really be understood only in personal terms. It is not an item in his political lexicon, and would sound merely embarrassing were it to turn up there. For the liberal tradition, what seems to many men and women to lie at the core of human existence has a peripheral place in the affairs of the world, however vital a role it may play in the private life. The concept of political love, one imagines would make little sense to Ditchkins. Yet something like this is the ethical basis for socialism. It is just that it is hard to see what this might mean in a civilization where love has been almost wholly reduced to the erotic, romantic, or domestic. Ditchkins writes as he does partly because a legacy which offers an alternative to the liberal heritage on this question is today in danger of sinking without trace.”

“Only a few short weeks ago, we shared the glory of man's first sight of the world as God sees it, as a single sphere reflecting light in the darkness. ... In that moment of surpassing technological triumph, men turned their thoughts toward home and humanity, seeing in that far perspective that man's destiny on earth is not divisible.”

“Stone is replaced by concrete, literature is replaced by journalism, journalism is replaced by information, man is replaced by woman, man and woman are replaced by robots, robots are replaced by cyborgs, and maybe humanity is replaced by post-humanity or trans humanity, i do think replacement is central to the modern society.”
“Young people often ask me, is it wrong to wear bold clothes? I tell them, wear whatever you are comfortable in, it's the character that lives, not clothes.”
“We can no longer speak Evil.
All we can do is discourse on the rights of man - a discourse which is pious, weak, useless and hypocritical, its supposed value deriving from the Enlightenment belief in a natural attraction of the Good, from an idealized view of human relationships (whereas Evil can manifestly be dealt with only by means of Evil).
What is more, even this Good qua ideal value is invariably deployed in a self-defensive, austerity-loving, negative and reactive mode. All the talk is of the minimizing of Evil, the prevention of violence: nothing but security. This is the condescending and depressive power of good intentions, a power that can dream of nothing except rectitude in the world, that refuses even to consider a bending of Evil, or an intelligence of Evil.
There can be a 'right' to speech only if speech is defined as the 'free' expression of an individual. Where speech is conceived of as a form implying reciprocity, collusion, antagonism or seduction, the notion of right can have no possible meaning.”

“Those who are arrogant about their pedigree, about their culture, about their intellect, I have no business with them, give me the humble janitor, give me the illiterate construction worker, give me the dropout waitress - the humble soul will find me in their own heart, but the arrogant will argue their whole life and never understand what I am all about, what humanity is all about - it's about community, it's about listening, it's about letting go of one's self-obsessed identity to become one with humanity.”

“Shouting about gender equality once a year doesn't end the patriarchal and misogynistic stereotypes. We must live every day as women's day, only then will there be actual, practical equality in this world.”

“Divinity for Sale (The Sonnet)
When a book becomes religion,
And doctrines become divinity,
Holiness remains speculation,
Society loses sight of humanity.
When institutions claim authority,
And sleeping masses comply,
Religion disappears altogether,
What remains is potential gone awry.
When popes and pundits sell faith,
In the name of divine supremacy,
Rigidity overrules common sense,
And reason is hailed as blasphemy.
But there is a cure for all this atrocity.
It is called individual curiosity.”

“I think the fundamental drive for most anyone, whether their actions are innocent or more nefarious in nature, is that everyone just wants to have value. Unfortunately, our ideas of what that means are often too vague to act on, if not misshapen by an ever-difficult world.”

“Healers Don’t Exist (The Sonnet)
Healers don't exist,
Only humans do.
Once you step outside the self,
You'll see the world anew.
Gods don't exist,
Only goodness does.
Prayers may soothe your soul,
Action is what change requires.
Psychics don't exist,
But sanctity is everywhere.
Once you stop conning your soul,
The bridge ahead will vividly appear.
When the heart awakens from superstition,
Everybody will be hometown human.”

“Child of Earth (The Sonnet)
Walk, walk, walk ahead,
O brave child of earth.
Let no fear shackle your feet,
Selflessness paves all path.
Meditate on unity,
Dedicate to inclusion.
Educate your soul,
Be free from self-absorption.
Forget gender, religion and ideology,
Abolish all chains of tribalism.
Place people at your heart's altar,
One dream, one mission – universalism.
Shallow and separated we can stay no more.
We must break ourselves to let light outpour.”

“My Compatriots (The Sonnet)
Any compatriot of mine,
Better have a grasp of prejudice.
Arrogance sickens my soul,
My heart revolts at the snobbish.
Doubts can be healthy,
But only if driven by curiosity.
When driven by contempt,
They only facilitate animosity.
You don't have to agree,
With the whole of my notion.
But don't turn bitter my friend,
For it is a trap of degradation.
Logic may fail sometimes as well as sentiments.
Never you lose o patriot your indivisible humanness.”

“Studies of the effects of education confirm that educated people really are more enlightened. They are less racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic, and authoritarian. They place a higher value on imagination, independence, and free speech. They are more likely to vote, volunteer, express political views, and belong to civic associations such as unions, political parties, and religious and community organizations. They are also likelier to trust their fellow citizens, a prime ingredient of the precious elixir called social capital which gives people the confidence to contract, invest, and obey the law without fearing that they are chumps who will be shafted by everyone else. For all these reasons, the growth of education and its first dividend, literacy is a flagship of human progress.”
