RE: Why do we fight to change the world?

in #philosophy8 years ago

"While there’s no virtue in suffering itself, certain kinds of suffering are unavoidable if we want to change the world. (That is, to really change the world, not just to jabber about it.)

If you run away from suffering, anyone with a pin and a threat owns you.

Let’s be clear on this: Wanting to live in a new way opens you up to suffering. If you hope to avoid it and still attain liberty, you’re kidding yourself. It won’t happen. And to make this point very clearly, I’ll restate it:

Suffering is required; if you can’t hack that, stay home."

hmmm, this is very interesting @onceuponatime -

"to achieve things that most people may only dream of, you may have to suffer in ways that you only wish that most people never will"

-thanks for sharing @onceuponatime (when, I first saw your handle @onceuponatime, for some reason my brain registered it a porcupine, lol -)
I hope you understand that I'm not making light of anything that is being said here. This is very serious and very real stuff that you/we all are talking about here. Make no mistake. My joking and laughter is meant to be contagious, so hopefully, you all will begin to live, laugh, and love more with me too :)

@onceuponatime, You said it best "(That is, to really change the world, not just to jabber about it.)"

Let's go change the world!
