Kaveh Akbar
“Where does all our effort go? It’s hard not to envy the monsters when you see how good they have it. And how unbothered they are at being monsters.”
Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!

Kaveh Akbar
“Eight of the ten commandments are about what thou shalt not. But you can live a whole life not doing any of that stuff and still avoid doing any good. That’s the whole crisis. The rot at the root of everything. The belief that goodness is built on a constructed absence, not-doing. That belief corrupts everything, has everyone with any power sitting on their hands.”
Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!

Kaveh Akbar
“just being perceived, all the time being perceived, was itself exhausting.”
Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!

Kaveh Akbar
“The performance of certainty seemed to be at the root of so much grief. Everyone in America seemed to be afraid and hurting and angry, starving for a fight they could win. And more than that even, they seemed certain their natural state was to be happy, contented, and rich. The genesis of everyone’s pain had to be external, such was their certainty. And so legislators legislated, building border walls, barring citizens of there from entering here. “The pain we feel comes from them, not ourselves,” said the banners, and people cheered, certain of all the certainty. But the next day they’d wake up and find that what had hurt in them still hurt.”
Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!

Deepak Chopra
“A great soul like Buddha or Jesus wasn't just a lamp at the door; they were beacons. You and I may feel smaller than Buddha or Jesus, yet that is an opinion formed by out own egos. Spirituality, all the light being expressed through a human begin is equal, at least in terms of quantity. Why? Because light is a metaphor for the power of consciousness. Everyone's consciousness draws from the same underlying reality.”
Deepak Chopra, Peace Is the Way: Bringing War and Violence to an End
