So if we have anything original to offer, it's to speak from our own life about the society we're in.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What I said to my family is, 'Our history is our own. Let people write what they want, we know who we are.'
Originality is a thing we constantly clamour for, and constantly quarrel with.
When we change the way we communicate, we change society.
Originality does not consist in saying what no one has ever said before, but in saying exactly what you think yourself.
We are what make up society.
When we as a society lose the ability to comment on what we see and to have an opinion on what we are exposed to, then we have all lost what makes us unique on this planet.
Our heritage and ideals, our code and standards - the things we live by and teach our children - are preserved or diminished by how freely we exchange ideas and feelings.
Society is what we make of it, so we'd better try to make it the best we can.
Whatever we, as prospective participants unaware of our specific features, would desire society to be like is what, morally speaking, we ought to institute.
Even if one is interested only in one's own society, which is one's prerogative, one can understand that society much better by comparing it with others.
