The only real revolution is in the enlightenment of mind and the improvement of character, the only real emancipation is individual, and the only real revolutionists are philosophers and saints.

“The greatest power is not the power to dominate.
It is the power to build a future that works for everyone.”
At #UNGA, @antonioguterres stresses our shared future depends on whether humanity can govern power wisely.

“i hope you never measure your worth by what you can provide. I hope you are loved on the days you're productive and on the days you're not. On the days you're celebrated and on the days you feel invisible.”
— Kafka
Men ought to be well treated or crushed, because they can avenge themselves of lighter injuries, of more serious ones they cannot; therefore the injury that is to be done to a man ought to be of such a kind that one does not stand in fear of revenge.
~Machiavelli

Second, many people are lethargic and do not follow basic hygiene steps that cost nothing, like bathing and changing clothes after sweating.
My favourite quote of all time was a statement Van Gogh made to his brother in a letter, that ‘ If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it's grass in the beginning ‘.
Our worth is inherent and unchangeable, whether people see it or not. So keep doing you. Your people will get you.
