Humanitarianism Quotes

“The Naskarean Sonnet It ain't easy to get Naskar, For Naskar is no being binary. In a world full of dualities, Naskar is an emblem of inclusivity. Think not it to be a person, For the person perished in line of duty. What lives today is the idea, The idea of struggle for undivided amity. Every human who helps a human, Is a manifestation Naskarean. Wherever there is prejudice and inequality, They appear as a living revolution. When one Naskar dies a thousand will rise. The dream of unity will never face demise.”

“Uniting humanity is not just my dream or purpose, it is the very life-blood that runs through my veins - I and my dream are one - I and my purpose are one. Hence, Naskar is not a name, it is an insignia of a united humanity.”

“The world is my home, it’s my hood, and it’s under my protection. So before any bigot or segregationist tries to poison it with barbarian fantasies, they'll have to go through me first. Either I'll turn every inhumanity into ashes or I'll become ashes myself while trying.”

“Become restless my friend, not for romance, not for sex, not for fame, money or reputation, but for making the contribution of change in the society, with your thoughts, with your emotions, with your actions, with your whole being.”

“If No One Comes, Walk Alone (A Sonnet) If no one comes hearing your call - walk alone, For the price of rigidity is greater than the cost of a fall. If no one comes hearing your call - speak alone, For the price of silence is greater than the cost of a scorn. If no one comes hearing your call - reason alone, For the price of prejudice is greater than the cost of loneliness. If no one comes hearing your call - think alone, For the price of bigotry is greater than the cost of feeling groundless. If no one comes hearing your call - dream alone, For the price of conformity is greater than the cost of failure. If no one comes hearing your call - act alone, For the price of inaction is greater than the cost of alleged misdemeanor. If no one comes hearing your call, o brave titan - carry the society on your own, For peace, progress and harmony are caused by the acts of the one alone.”

“I chose to take the weight of the world on my shoulders, but you don't necessarily have to. If you can't take the weight of the world on your shoulders, take the weight of your nation - if you can't take the weight of your nation, take the weight of your city - if you can't take the weight of your city, take the weight of your neighborhood. Start small but start somewhere - take responsibility for the issues of your immediate vicinity if not the whole world, and the world will change, slowly but surely.”

“Run for service, not office. Chase change, not campaign victory. If you can't change the world without office, you definitely can't change it in office. Who am I? I am Abhijit Naskar, EAS - Earth Administrative Servant the First. Who's next - who is thunderful enough, to shoulder the world as living Atlas!”

“Mark my words, I will be gone, but my ideas will continue to create hundreds of Subhas Chandra Boses and Martin Luther Kings in every neighborhood of this world, from the alleys of New York to the streets of Nairobi, from the beaches of Miami to the banks of Kanyakumari, from the sidewalks of Ankara to the foothills of Alaska.”

“Visvavictor Sonnet I am not a poet, I am a paradigm. I am no religionist, But the source divine. More than a scientist, I'm a compass to science. I am not a philosopher, But a purposeful alliance. I am not some legal giant, But a valley of lawless order. Transcending Sieg Heil and Star Spangled Banner, I am the Visva (world), I am the Victor.”

“Max Hartshorn, Artem Kaznatcheev and Thomas Shultz (2013) The Evolutionary Dominance of Ethnocentric Cooperation Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 16 (3) 7 Abstract Recent agent-based computer simulations suggest that ethnocentrism, often thought to rely on complex social cognition and learning, may have arisen through biological evolution. From a random start, ethnocentric strategies dominate other possible strategies (selfish, traitorous, and humanitarian) based on cooperation or non-cooperation with in-group and out-group agents. Here we show that ethnocentrism eventually overcomes its closest competitor, humanitarianism, by exploiting humanitarian cooperation across group boundaries as world population saturates. Selfish and traitorous strategies are self-limiting because such agents do not cooperate with agents sharing the same genes. Traitorous strategies fare even worse than selfish ones because traitors are exploited by ethnocentrics across group boundaries in the same manner as humanitarians are, via unreciprocated cooperation. By tracking evolution across time, we find individual differences between evolving worlds in terms of early humanitarian competition with ethnocentrism, including early stages of humanitarian dominance. Our evidence indicates that such variation, in terms of differences between humanitarian and ethnocentric agents, is normally distributed and due to early, rather than later, stochastic differences in immigrant strategies.”

“War can condition a person to be resilient, tolerant, dependable, strong, and capable of so much more than one who had experienced nothing of it; it can bring out the very best in us, but also the very worst. Where is it, I ask, the proper conduit through which a soldier should be raised from whence they would become an upstanding citizen of the world, instead of a single country?”

“Yesterday I was stupid, so I wanted to change the world. Today, I am more stupid, so I am changing the world. And tomorrow there will be a hundred more stupid like me, for this stupidity for changing the world can never accept any excuse for inaction, even if that excuse happens to be a most rational reason.”

“Rise I Will (The Sonnet) Every time there is darkness most foul, I will burn to bring light, sight and might. Every time there is misery unbound, I will churn my soul to outpour delight. Every time the horizon turns gloomy, I will rush to the aid as a sentient soldier. Every time the world is infected, I will walk the alleys as a living sanitizer. Every time there is savagery on the rise, I will be the beacon of human alliance. Every time bigotry overpowers the minds, I'll be the call to resuscitate fallen conscience. I am not a person but a sentience beyond time. Rise I will always in crisis to fortify my humankind.”
