Social Development Quotes

“Sisters and brothers of my world, I do not believe in universal acceptance, for I am the very embodiment of universal acceptance. The river doesn't believe in the life-giving powers of its water - the sun doesn't believe in the warmth-giving powers of its rays - the wind doesn't believe in the soothing powers of its breeze. Belief implies an absence of proof, but acceptance is beyond proof. You do not believe that you need oxygen to live, likewise, you do not believe in universal acceptance, for without it, the very fabric of civilization will wither.”

“You should look for opportunities to turn your child into a social leader. Brownies, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Indian Guides, National Outdoor Leadership Schools, church and synagogue youth groups, and almost any type of community service opportunities are extraordinarily helpful to popular children. These opportunities allow them to turn their attractive traits into concrete acts of generosity toward others. Good leaders show respect toward other people; good leaders use win-win strategies. It is not enough for children to be smart or to be able to reflect on moral problems. Children need to be put into situations where they can practice moral acts - and that is true of the socially gifted as it is of kids who veer toward the antisocial. We have to give our naturally popular children the moral guidance to make them into true leaders.”

“The child of a poor farmer or a construction worker has as much right to a healthy and happy life, as the child of a billionaire - and till we make it happen, not a single day can go without our involvement to lift our society with our own two hands. This very involvement is the very lifeblood of a functional democracy.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 24 Who is to build the world? Who is to raise the society? Who is to water the plants? Who is to stand up for sanity? Who is to bear agony for community? Who is to go hungry feeding another? Who is to heal the sick while bleeding? Who is to lift the lowly trotting fire? Who is to burn alive to bring light? Who is to walk on thorns to build the bridge? Who is to be deceived yet stay humble? Who is to lay down so others can climb the ridge? It is you, o misfit, o explorer of impossibility, Even if no one joins us, our world is our responsibility!”

“Halkat Humans (The Sonnet) The history of human progress, Is the history of halkat* humans. Only the *loco make the earth civilized, By growing out of habits and traditions. Habits of yesterday are a gutter of biases, Hence they ain't the right habits of today. Let us not confuse them as modern identity, Let us not endorse them throwing reason away, Traditions born of bigotry and ignorance, Are hardly a measure of civilization. Measure of civilization is an expanding spirit, One that ever evolves discarding superstition. Turn your heart into a khichdi (fusion) of cultures, And behold o mighty human, as all division disappears.”

“Sonnet 1147 Only way to grow together as a couple, is to nourish each other's individual growth. Only way to grow together as a society, is to empower each other's personal growth. Learn from Manu, Majnun, Vyas and M.A.S.H, Absorb all good like an eager sponge. Tradition of tribe has outstayed its welcome, Now outgrow the fences across fearful hunch. Na desi, na videsi, Banna hai to bano visvadesi. Bohot aye despar marnevaale, Des ke par chalo sudhare insani zindagi. Ni local, ni extranjero, Simplemente seamos humano. Más allá de la patria, más allá de la muerte, Vivamos como un planeta pueblo. Ni obediente, ni opresivo - Luchando por igualdad seremos humano.”

“I Dream of A World Civilized (The Sonnet) I dream of a world civilized, Where color of skin is nothing. But when I look at the present, It poses a challenge to my dreaming. I envision a society night and day, Where law is not necessary. But when I look at the world today, I realize how far it's from reality. I dream of a world most human, Beyond all gender and sexuality. But when I look at the moment's truth, It is far too distant from that humanity. Yet difficulties only add value to a dream. If not today when will our journey begin!”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 31 Progress is a messy term, Which in theory means ascension. But in practice it means serving the wealthy, And to hell with the rest of the humans! When reckless monkeys start making rockets, They behave like some fancy junkie. When nuts and bolts hypnotize the apes, Equity, justice and honor feel secondary. Traditions have been ruling human behavior, Now technology has cast a spell on society. Just like mindless traditions are dangerous, Heartless technology is injurious to humanity. Traditions and technology both can be a boon, Yet as of today, they sustain a world of fools.”

“In order to build a truly wise society devoid of any kind of existential crisis, it is imperative that the individuals foster a healthy integration between cognition and behavior. When cognition and behavior are not in sync, no civilization can progress in peace and harmony. Without this fundamental integration between cognition and behavior, the so-called “civilization” only miserizes itself by always confusing the acquirement of instant gratifications to be peace and happiness.”

“All issues in the society prevail, because the person thinks, the self is separate from the society. And this is the gravest mistake that any sentient species could ever make. With great sentience, comes great responsibility.”
