Getting distracted by trifles is the easiest thing in the world…

Focus on your main duty.

- Epictetus

Instead, be humble, for the humble shall inherit the earth. Be patient and merciful and innocent and quiet and good, and revere always the words that you have heard. Do not exalt yourself or permit your soul to become arrogant. Your soul shall not associate with the lofty, but live with the righteous and the humble. Accept as good the things that happen to you, knowing that nothing transpires apart from God.

- The Didache

It doesnt matter if youre black, white, gay, straight, come from different countries, different language...every single person is significant and is meaningful.

- Michael Franti

If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law.

- Henry David Thoreau

Live with a peaceful heart; cultivate a warrior's spirit.

- Dan Millman

If the truth shall kill them, let them die.

I'm a happy Rebel : A poem

I am calling myself a happy rebel writing against paradigm for a fun, turning over each rock and pebble for an alternate truth if there is one.

Addicted to my views out of the box sometimes I may sound like a shrink, saying things that are meant to detox the way that brainwashed people think.

I see people duped into their limitation medicine seeing us as fleshy machines, and religion causing spiritual stagnation and I say it all using these poetic means.

I can see a careerism in all political minds pushing for status of an alpha in the pack, wound up to instigate conflicts of all kinds keeping the global harmony out of whack.

An intellectual freedom is my main theme with sheer will- muscle to reclaim our mind, de-hypnotized from each imposing scheme to personally evolve into a more desired kind.

Unlike other rebels I am not pissed at all as I'm seeing world as an amusing place, and rebelling is not like some solemn call which would just make me a shrink's case.

Loving the mankind, I just see them funny with all crazy stuff they are taking for smart, this world keeps orbiting around god-money but yet not enough to poison this rebel's heart.
