“As we all know, as if forever exploiting or attempting to exploit each other were not enough, a group of sane human beings who have just reached the end of a war against a common enemy of theirs will sooner or later start or continue killing and/or fighting against each other.”

“The public education system did not promote the enlightenment of the individual, but rather suppressed critical thought and neurodiversity. It produced preformatted, standardized, and obedient worker-citizen consumers that are programmed to feed the system that holds them captured, exploited, and enslaved. Silently and collectively, they are sawing the branch of reason on which we are all sitting.”

“The biggest challenge with givers is that they always realise too late when the damage has been done to them by the takers. To a certain extent, they may even feel no need to give to others after being exploited. For givers not to grow weary along the way, they need to evaluate if they are giving to the people who need real help and ensure their level of giving is alienable to them to retain their blessings.”

“The Pillar (A Sonnet)

People come, spend some time with me,
Then they leave and go their own way.
Some leave bidding a sweet goodbye,
Then there're times I get trashed away.

To the world I am but a pillar,
I've accepted that role in society.
But secretly the heart wreaks havoc,
Not being able to hold on to somebody.

There is no cure for my condition,
It's the price a reformer has to pay.
No world is lifted without sacrifice,
That's how the being becomes a gateway.

Be a shelter to others in their times of agony.
Once you've fulfilled your role in their life,
Do not be a hindrance to their joy and liberty.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Aşk Mafia: Armor of The World

“I exchanged a love that would set me apart, heal me, and free me from dependence, for a pimp that kept me like a slave, locked in a hotel room, unable to escape. I traded freedom for vices. I traded fulfilling love for inanimate objects and idolatrous relationships that controlled and exploited me. But the whole time, He was waiting there, waiting for His prostitute beloved, ready to break me free.”

“I remember being in this local pub,” chuckles Deek. “It was called the Tap, and all the punks used to hang out there, and bands would play sometimes too. Wattie made a rare appearance which sticks in my mind as this bloke went up to him and said, ‘Wattie, don’t you think your new album is a bit too metal more than punk?’ Wattie headbutted the poor guy in the face, leaving him staggering backwards, covered in blood, and asked, ‘Is that punk enough for you then?”
