- Dates are artificial, viruses are natural….so there’s that!
- Dates are artificial, climate change is real….yes, this thing is still going to fuck with us severely every passing year 2021..22..23…………97
- Don’t blame the year/date…its a silly number assigned by us humans
- Our prescience is a mask for our delusions
- We say we care but when the choice is between helping and real discomfort, we somehow find ourselves “busy”
- Science and Scientists need better PR
- Religions need to perish
- Real friends and art saved (and continue to save) me from utter gloom
- Democracy needs constant upgrading
- A sense of ‘wonder’ is the most valuable asset of human conscience
- You can’t live someone else’s misery, but you can acknowledge it exists
- The acknowledgement of someone’s misery isn’t enough to alleviate it
- Equality can feel like oppression to those who already have privilege
- Politeness is not equal to kindness
- Violence is an utter failure of imagination
- A body at rest is not equal to a rested body
- If the point you are making in an argument is only to condemn and not to convert, then its just unnecessary noise
- Knowing and accepting that you can’t take anyone along in your growth, is the ultimate recognition of solitude
- Count upon no understanding from others of your need for growth and solitude, but let this not diminish your love for them
- Doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result is opposite of growth…be it at a personal level or in social activism
- Every time we look at any behavior or culture through the default Euro-centric point of view, we are indulging in a racist thought
- We are trained to see deficiencies in people and not policies
- Thereby, we strive to ‘improve’ deficient people but largely ignore deficient policies which caused the deficiencies in the people in the first place
- Just because there are no published materials in a certain language, doesn’t make that language inferior
- We want to heal without pain, but without pain there is no healing
