Small Minds

Small-minded people sadden me and make me angry. It hurts to see the pain they bring to others and the tragedy of the worlds of opportunities they are denying themselves. It is out of caring and compassion that my anger is manifested. I want so much for them and for those they condemn, and their unwillingness to even attempt to understand foreign things or ideas completely destroys any possibility for growth and improvement.

It saddens me greatly.

Do

What are we if not defined by what we do? We can have thousands of incredibly lucid and moving thoughts, and it means absolutely nothing without action. The concept of knowledge without communication applies. In the context of bettering the state of mankind, knowledge without media to be transmitted across is useless. Knowledge (lucid thoughts) can be useful for personal exploration, but sharing (communication) is where you can define who you are.

Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't try to do things. You simply must do things.

-- Ray Bradbury
