Going against the zeitgeist, whether you like it or not, is rarely going to win you favours in any social circles.
- quotemstr 7y agoGeorge Bernard Shaw put it aptly: "the reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man adapts the world to himself. All progress, therefore, depends on the unreasonable man." In other words, if the zeitgeist is ever to change, someone has to go against it, often at personal cost. We should be grateful some people have a compulsion to speak up even when it costs them personally.
