Society Thinking Quotes

“Be transparent. Let's build a community that allows hard questions and honest conversations so we can stir up transformation in one another.”

“It’s not the word that’s important, it’s the right to say any word you want to and to form any sentence you want to, that’s the point and once they start to legally restrict what we can say and what we can’t say then we are on a slippery slope to authoritarianism.” “We’re talking about racists,” said Karen. “No one should be allowed to be racist,” said Mark. “But that’s not down to the Government or the courts,” said Rob desperately, “that should be down to us, we should make it difficult for people to be racist, we should frown upon such language and activity, it should be by peer pressure that we stop people from being abusive and unpleasant, not down to the Government.” “Why not?” demanded Karen, “they make the laws so it’s down to them to make the punishments.” “It’s not about punishment,” pressed Rob, “it’s about morality and social conscience, it’s about standing up for what’s right versus moral laziness, it’s about courage versus cowardice.”

“Any human action that goes against what is ordinary, is deemed as an anomaly.”

“We grow up being told to do this and told to do that because it's the 'right' thing to do. If we did something obscure, it'd be 'wrong'. We have been taught to choose the respectable, socially acceptable path that everyone else walks down. What if we were told to do what feels right and were not afraid to perceive the world in an authentic light. We are told how to think and what to think, but not how to feel. We don't always need logic, we need to feel.”

“To say nothing is saying something. You must denounce things you are against or one might believe that you support things you really do not.”

“The masses live their lives as defined by terms given by society. For example: this is what it means to be married, this is what it means to be in a relationship, this is what it means to be dating, this is what it means to have a mutual understanding, sighs, this is what it means to be serious, this is what it means to be casual, this is what it means to be complicated, this is what it means to be Facebook official. These are all terms given by society. These are all invisible (and not so invisible) lines, drawn by society. These are are not God-lines. These are not borders created by highly enlightened individuals. These are not terms defined by you during moments of highly elevated consciousness. No. These are only shits. A pure soul, completely whole and void of constriction, will look out into the world with untainted eyes and say: "Where is the one whom my soul recognizes?" And you look for the one whom your soul is sired to, whom your soul recognizes, whom your soul loves. There are no laws, there are no lines, there are no borders. There is no shit. You are committed to the call of your soul, to the power that calls you beyond all the cloaks and the traps and the smallness created by small hands.”

“A nation with a thousand awakened citizens and a corrupt leader, is much more alive than a nation with an awakened leader and a thousand corrupt citizens.”

“Well-being and happiness science practices at home, school and work settings have the potential to empower concurrently at least two generations. They may have a large-scale positive impact on the mental and physical health of our community, society and future generations.”
