How utterly are one's best thoughts invaded by this going out in society.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think people really need to think what it's like to have all of society arrayed against you.
It is, therefore, essential that we guard our own thinking and not be among those who cry out against prejudices applicable to themselves, while busy spawning intolerances for others.
When the negative thoughts come - and they will; they come to all of us - it's not enough to just not dwell on it... You've got to replace it with a positive thought.
There is something about the ability to externalize our thoughts and compare them with other people in a public way that is really transformative for the average person.
Thought is an infection. In the case of certain thoughts, it becomes an epidemic.
Second thoughts oftentimes are the very worst of all thoughts.
I think it's a very firm part of human nature that if you surround yourself with like-minded people, you'll end up thinking more extreme versions of what you thought before.
There are weapons that are simply thoughts. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy.
The best thinking has been done in solitude. The worst has been done in turmoil.
Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, Thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought is great and swift and free.
