About This Quote

Let us open our eyes! Let us not be so narrow-minded and start to think. We have been caught up in the idea that we cannot do anything for ourselves, and we have been arguing on the internet about whether the world is beginning to fall. We talk about things like "the government" and "the rich," and we think of these people as separate entities. But these people are all individuals, each with a different story to tell.

Yet, they are all connected by a single thread: they all believe that they must maintain a status quo that benefits themselves and never challenges it. It is only when we look at how this ideology has affected the world that we will understand why these people are acting the way they are.
