it's alright.
so, here's how to do the revolution. you can't be an idealist. you have to base your perfect utopian goal world using principles that have been proven true. so, i mean, if you think that perfect peace is possible, there's no proof of that. there has always been war. so, in your goal world, you have to leave a place for war, just make a paradigm or scheme or set up or whatever that includes the drive for war, and possibly directs it in a more positive, universally beneficial way for all. so, you have to be a realist. but just because you can't be an idealist doesn't mean that you can't be hopeful. if you see that certain principles work, but that their beneficial potential is not being fully tapped, then concentrate on that. personally, i think worker's rights should be a priority, in my imaginary society i want to convince others one day to implement. make a job a nice place to go to for the very principle of making work a nice place to be. for the sole purpose. just cause. that's being hopeful, because happy workers are, by tried and true evidence and principle, more productive, which is beneficial both for the individual, but for society as a whole.
high thought.
who wants to join me in revolution? just let me be the guy on the soap box with the megaphone. screaming my philosophy. while chaos insues. and common sense and i reign supreme. i mean, i just want to be at the head of some great change. is that so bad? and i want shaggy hair, a soapbox and a megaphone. with thick-framed glasses. delusions of grandeur, anyone?
