The Gentalist: There's No Social Work, Only Family Work

Abhijit Naskar

Top 10 Best Quotes

“Why should women have to give up their name upon marriage, as if they are nothing but hood ornaments to their husbands! And why should a child be identified only by their father’s name and not the mother’s, who by the way, is the root of all creation - who is creation! We are never going to have a civilized society with equity as foundation, unless we acknowledge and abolish such filthy habits that we’ve been practicing as tradition. Showing off our skin-deep support for equality few days a year doesn’t eliminate all the discriminations from the world, we have to live each day as the walking proof of equality, ascension and assimilation.”

“Ask us for water, we won't let you go unfed, but do not mistake our gentleness as fear. If you so much as lay a finger on our home, we'll defend it with our blood, sweat 'n tears.”

“When the invader stomps on innocent lives, not choosing a side is a consent to oppression.”

“Sonnet of Human Duty To deliver humanity from inhumanity, Is the duty of every human. To deliver the innocent from injustice, Is the duty of every human. The indifferent may call it god complex, Apathetic pessimists may call it idealism. I call it the meaning of life and sanity, The opposite is just a sign of doofusism. Differences won't destroy the world, Indifference is far more ominous. The problem is not the evil doers, But the silent spectators. Mark me well, the day I stay silent is the day, Lady liberty throws her torch away.”

“To deliver humanity from inhumanity is the duty of every human.”

“People Over Path (The Sonnet) Celebrities defend vanity, Intellectuals defend intellect, Preachers defend scriptures, Scientists defend factual evidence. I found plenty of human professions, But in none of them I found a human. All are obsessed to defend their path, Yet all paths are dead without a human. No matter who we are or what we are, Above all else our identity is humanness. If this simple fact is still not clear enough, All vanity, intellect, texts and science are baseless. Before defending a puny path, let us take a human peek. If we must defend, let us defend the helpless and weak.”

“Not a kernel of kindness ever goes to waste, Not a gesture of gentleness ever goes awry.”

“Let me make one thing absolutely clear. I'm not here to enlighten or awaken anybody. Anybody who says they can awaken you, is either lying or plain deluded. I'm just here to burn, and if you want, you can burn with me, for light united is world ignited.”

“Kindness No Obligation (The Sonnet) Those who feel kindness is an obligation, Don't really feel but crawl as walking dead. Those who think society ain't their responsibility, Don’t think, they're just specimens of mental midget. Giants are those who lay themselves down, For the welfare of every single soul around. Intellect is a tool for, not a subject of, greatness and glory, The root of all greatness is a gentle heart unbound. Kindness is more than a trait, just like accountability, These things make a human out of an animal. Selfishness is more than a flaw, just like egotism, These things keep an animal from becoming human. Little selfishness is ok so long as your humanity is in charge. We've been animal long enough, now let's be giants on guard.”

“All are so obsessed with comfort and luxury, that they rebel most vehemently when their wi-fi is down, but do nothing when their neighbor is down.”
