Together we are humans, separate we are apes.
Together we are life, separate we are dust.
Together we are tools, separate we are weapons.
Together we are a boon, separate we are a curse.
Together we are power, separate we are insects.
Together we are sanity, separate we are lunacy.
Together we are serenity, separate we are misery.
Together we are harmony, separate we are catastrophe.
Together we are diversity, separate we are phobia.
Together we are purity, separate we are pollution.
Together we are savannah, separate we are a desert.
Together we are family, separate we are desolation.
Together we are to grow as beings of conscience and character,
Or else our lives are futile and will fade away in time's murmur.

How to tell a human from ape, when both look the same?

Look for the creature that considers everyone outside their religion a heathen, and everyone outside their culture a heretic – that’s a textbook ape.

Now look for the being that finds the same human spirit in every culture, religion and nation – that right there, is a rare human specimen.

How to tell a human from robot, when both look the same?

Look for the contraption that considers everything outside logic, without value – that’s a lifeless robot.

Look for the soul that knows when to, and when not to, apply logic in life and society – that’s a living human.

If a 3 pound brain can contain
a 100 billion nerve cells,
a planet with land the size of 20bn stadiums
should have room for 10 billion people.

Then how come, so many
have to survive on so little,
on a planet this size, this rich!

It all comes down to hoarding – if we
cared more about social responsibility
than social etiquette, we wouldn’t have
such drastic paradoxes of disparity.

In English we say:
proof of the pudding is in the eating.
In Naskarian we say:
proof of the Sapiens is in the sharing.
