“If someone wants to do good they'll do good, whether they have a billion dollars or just one.”

“Many of the haters call me mental, which, by the way, is quite true, both metaphorically and clinically. It's true clinically because I am a person on the spectrum with OCD, and metaphorically, because I refuse to accept the sanity of unaccountability as the right way of civilized life. I am not going to glorify the issues of mental illness by saying that it's a super power or that it makes a person special. On the contrary, it makes things extremely difficult for a person.

But guess what! Indifference is far more dangerous than any mental illness. Because mental illness can be managed with treatment, but there is no treatment for indifference, there is no treatment for coldness, there is no treatment for apathy. So, let everyone hear it, and hear it well - in a world where indifference is deemed as sanity what's needed is a whole lot of mentalness, a whole lot of insanity, insanity for justice, insanity for equality, insanity for establishing the fundamental rights of life and living for each and every human being, no matter who they are, what they are, or where they are.”

“Find The Human (The Sonnet)

Find the human in you, and,
You'll find the human in everybody.
The way things are inside,
So they are externally.
World is reflection of the self,
Outside is reflection of inside.
Blind heart maketh the world blind,
Kind heart maketh the world kind.
We cover our eyes with our hands,
And weep as children for it is too dark.
We let biases take over our behavior,
Then we shout why the world is so unjust.
Without heart all fancy exterior is delusion,
Only truth in the world is the one internal.”

“People are worried that machines will take over the world and then they’ll have no voice any more. Well - what voice do you have today, despite having a voice! You are already puppets to your political overlords. You don’t think for yourself, you don’t feel for yourself, you don’t behave for yourself - heck, that’s why you have election in the first place - not so you could choose a leader, but so you don’t have to take any responsibility.

And you are still worried about machines taking over your lives! Your lives are already taken over, not by mechanical deities but by organic sectarian deities born of the womb of your own indifference. So forget about a fictitious future which may or may not happen and pay attention to the real threat that haunts the society in the present - namely, your own indifference.”

“Truth doesn't sell, lies do, complexity does. But here's the thing. Lies sell in the guise of higher truth. That's why "love thy neighbor" is not a simple way of life, but an entire messed up institutionalized indoctrinating religion. Because if you forget all those frivolous dogmas, doctrines and stories, and simply embrace love thy neighbor as the supreme way of life, religious leaders won't have anything to sell you, and when they have nothing to sell you, they won't have any control over you.”

“Explode With Love (The Sonnet)

When the heart explodes with love,
The world implodes with peace.
When the eyes explode with oneness,
All divisions will begin to ease.
The road to an undivided society,
Goes through an undivided heart.
Be one with everyone and everywhere,
Shatter all habits that make you part.
There's no division that can't be conquered,
The question is not of possibility but intent.
All is right when intention is right,
All are one when the heart is unbent.
Devotion to one culture diminishes humanity.
Devote yourself to the world, and lo pours harmony.”
