Relevancy Always Crosses Generations

"There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part; you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!" - Mario Savio

Gaius Julius Caesar
Beware of the leader, who strikes the war drum in order to transfer the citizens into patriotic glow, patriotism is indeed a double-sided sword. It makes the blood so boldly, like it constricts the intellect. And if the striking of the war drum reached a fiebrige height and the blood is cooking and hating, and the intellect is dismissed, the leader doesn't need to reject the citizens rights. The citizens, cought by anxiety and blinded through patriotism, will subordinate all their rights to the leader and this even with happy courage. Why do I know that? I know it, because this is, what I did. And I am Gajus Julius Cäsar

...

If I might be so brave as to put a few of my own thoughts here too...

If I am honest and sincere in my mistakes then they are well made, but if I am dishonest or insincere that is the foolish mistake.

Success is a false hope. Contentment is a true accomplishment.

Acceptance and compassion are the only force that can overcome criticism and condemnation.

And just for the sake of sobering common sense...

Every end is the beginning of something new, just as every beginning is the end of something past.
