RE: How to Change The World!

in #life7 years ago

Hi there 😁! Interesting post, I will try to fill the holes 😋.

You are talking a lot about how black people or women used to be viewed as inferior. Meh, it's just about power.

Let me tell you something about this views, it doesn't stop on black people or women. White people used to be slaves and considered inferior by their black/brown masters. Indians used the caste system for thousands of years. In Europe we still have the bleu blood lines. It is all about power, nothing more.

In those times, like today, if I can dominate you, then you are inferior. Just like that 😄. The only difference now is we don't use our muscles that much.

In order to be different takes a lot of mental/spiritual strength and also require the willing to make sacrifices.

Not everyone is willing to give what it takes to be different and make comments like this one 😂.

Also, one individual with a too different idea is either labeled crazy (Eminescu), or brushed away (killed usually). You know, like: Jesus, J.F.K., John Lennon, 2Pac, etc. . You need a mild different idea and quite a few followers.

Do you know how much time consuming is to questions everything, and there's a lot of down sides of this. Most of the great philosophers went crazy because of doing just that 😁.

I don't even go on parenting field, don't need flags now 😅.

Being different require a lot of self confidence as well. A lot of it.

Again, nice post, food for thoughts 😃.

Sort:  

The examples I gave were just that: examples. I can see how it was a power driven thing, but the idea behind them were widely accepted. To use the same issue I used in the post, even women used to consider themselves inferior and incapable to have a job or own property, because that was the general belief.
Even the unimportant things are changed through minority influence. Think fashion or styles. New ones come up when a few people decide to be different, to wear weird clothes or do their hair in a special way. Then more and more people join in until it becomes a trend.

Thank you so much for your comment! :)
