I am not bound by law, for my law is my accountability towards society, which itself makes me do what’s right and best for the society. I am not here to be guided by the illusive societal paradigms, legal or any other, I am here to point those paradigms in a humane direction, so that they can recognize their shortcomings and evolve into something better. But if ever the dark day comes when I commit an inhumanity, I will sentence myself to death.
To the militant atheist I say, there’s more to life than cold facts. And at the same time, to the religious fanatics I say, there’s more to life than blind faith.
My brave, conscientious officers of the law, if you want people to trust you, don’t use the phrase “police are your friends”, for it only makes you sound authoritarian, egotistical and condescending – instead, remind them “police are humans too” – acknowledge your mistakes and work towards correcting them, so that you can truly become the Caretaker of People, which is the very definition of COP.
Yes it’s true that I want you, but I want you at your own free will and at your own natural pace. And for that, I’m prepared to wait the rest of my life.
Discrimination is the mark of a savage, assimilation is the mark of a sage.
Shatter free from social somnolence, shake yourself awake from nostalgic nausea.
Take pride in individuals, not in labels – not in labels of religion, not in labels of nationality, not in labels of party, not even in labels of intellect, philosophy and schools of thought.
Fight for the alive future, not for a dead past.
No conviction is beyond scrutiny, for even the strongest of convictions may hold the most despicable of biases, which if left unchecked, can destroy an entire society.
Power doesn’t mean to control people, real power is to bring happiness in their lives.
Dare to love, dare to reason, dare to live, without caution.
There is a path from one heart to another that you cannot see with eyes.
Not everything that is civilized is logical, and not everything that is logical is civilized.
Until the entire earth is one nation, there is no earth, there is no ascension. Until all earthlings are one family, there is no life, there is no liberation.
Until the billionaire and the janitor become equal in your eyes, you are yet to be a civilized human.
Nobody is born with a brain full of knowledge and wisdom. All you can be born with is an intention for learning.
If independence is your right, then accountability is your duty – without accountability there is no difference between an independent human and an independent animal.
Those who can’t do, mock, those who do, have no time to mock.
You can dress up a chimpanzee in a fancy suit, but that doesn’t turn the chimpanzee into a human, but if that chimp can share his meal with another hungry chimp, then that chimp is more human than all of the selfish humanity combined. Appearance doesn’t make you human, your behavior does – your accountability does – your sense of community does.
Without love, all progress is harm.
