When evil men shout ugly words of hatred,

good men must commit themselves

to the glories of love.

💣 Unpopular Opinions & Controversial Figures 🔥

Freethinkers are those who are willing to

use their minds without prejudice and

without fearing to understand things that

 clash with their own customs, privileges,

or beliefs. This state of mind is not common,

but it is essential for right thinking.

Leo Tolstoy

Everything that irritates us about others

can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.

equanimity opinions which differ from

the prejudices of their social environment.

Most people are even incapable of

Never apologize for evolving

beyond people's comfort zone.

about animals when there are humans

who need help" tend to do f*ck all

to help humans neither...

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead

where there is no path and leave a trail.

for themselves, something that they

do not know how to do.

Injustice results as much from treating unequals

equally as from treating equals unequally.

Aristotle

If everyone is thinking alike,

then no one is thinking.

Benjamin Franklin

If anyone can show me, and prove to me,

that I am wrong in thought or deed,

I will gladly change. I seek the truth,

which never yet hurt anybody. It is only

persistence in self-delusion and ignorance

which does harm.

Marcus Aurelius

Man proceeds in the fog. But when he looks

back to judge people of the past, he sees no fog

on their path. From his present, which was their

faraway future, their path looks perfectly clear

to him, good visibility all the way. Looking back,

he sees the path, he sees the people proceeding,

he sees their mistakes, but not the fog.

Milan Kundera

Intelligence is measured by a person's

ability to see validity within both sides

for ourselves, and fearlessly following it.

Mahatma Gandhi

Progress is impossible without change,

cannot change anything.

George Bernard Shaw

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world;

the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt

the world to himself. Therefore all progress

depends on the unreasonable man.

George Bernard Shaw

Pick Me Vegans

People's opinions are mainly designed to make

them feel comfortable; truth, for most people,

is a secondary consideration.

Bertrand Russell

We are haunted by the horror of what we do

to animals, but we are equally haunted by

the knowledge of how unhaunted others are.

J.M. Coetzee

When people meet vegans, they become aware

in that moment that they eat animals.

They become uncomfortable and place

the feeling on the vegan. Their own sense

of mercy and compassion arises and

makes them uneasy. Mercy asks of you

to abstain from this cruelty.

Gary Smith

The hottest places in hell are reserved for

those who, in times of great moral crisis,

maintain their neutrality.

I'm totally against it.
