- “Evolution is what’s left when all other options have been exhausted. Yes, it’s you.” ― Péter Zilahy, The Last Window Giraffe – Hari-hari Terakhir Sang Diktator
- “Faith belongs to the human spirit. Faith is faith. Humanity is divided by religion, religion is the divider of humanity. If every human could be removed of their blindfolds and see that faith is in itself faith and that this is something which belongs to each and every human being, then at that time the dividers of religion will suddenly mean nothing and we will all see that we are united by faith in and of itself. There is only one faith and it is called faith. And no man needs to prove to another man that what he believes in exists, because even if it does not exist, his faith is his belief that it is there, that something is there, and that in itself is faith. So I do not need to prove to any man that what I believe in exists or not, there is no such contest between man, my faith breathes in the body of my belief; the fact that I believe is the breath of my faith.” ― C. JoyBell C.

- Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity. Pema Chodron
- “Contrary to the ever-fashionable “it is better to blame than receive” mentality, made popular around the same time civilization was born. In general, there really are no convenient scapegoats of devils, demons or metaphorical mental illnesses to fault our individual and collective inability to become more civilized. Humanized. Despite what religion, economics, governments, psychology, advertising, education, Oprah Winfrey and virtually every pop-culture guru edifies – the truth of the matter is – the fault lies firmly in the minds and hearts of human excuses (refusal) to evolve. Evolve mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Take responsibility. Learn, strive to become more human, with access to the higher aspects of human nature. Integrity. Dignity. Pursue a completely opposite reality in direct opposition to the current reality of profit, Self and power.Without getting into a deep discussion of the subject of reality, in really simple terms I understand reality as a form of creation where we can be co-creators. (if we choose to be) Both on a individual level and en masse. For instance, if one universal reality can be created and sustained, say one of unbridled greed, then the laws of nature, science, the universe whatever you choose to call it affirms that: If one dominate reality (one of materialistic greed) can be created, enforced and sustained – so can other realities. Even a diametrically opposed reality. Proof of this is the fact there are currently, and historically have been, human beings living (struggling to live) in that opposite reality! Men and women of all ages and backgrounds existing within a reality which permits, encourages and very importantly supports higher forms of humanity. Higher expressions of our human nature. A civilized form of civilization based on the continual progression of humanization. Not sustained dehumanization in economic/social competition for life.Obviously, this more civilized/humanized type of reality currently exists in minutia within the longstanding ever-devouring reality of materialistic power and greed – which in and of it’s self is a strong testament to the old saying – “Where ever you are. You need to build your own world.” The main take away is: Regardless of how small this more civilized/humanized reality may currently be – it exists! So, the good-news is realities are like cultures. Each uniquely real but not universal. Unless of course your culture is hell-bent on world domination. Establishing only one culture. Theirs!” ― Brien Pittman
- “Those who are arrogant about their pedigree, about their culture, about their intellect, I have no business with them, give me the humble janitor, give me the illiterate construction worker, give me the dropout waitress – the humble soul will find me in their own heart, but the arrogant will argue their whole life and never understand what I am all about, what humanity is all about – it’s about community, it’s about listening, it’s about letting go of one’s self-obsessed identity to become one with humanity.” ― Abhijit Naskar, The Shape of A Human: Our America Their America
