An idea that is not dangerous is unworthy of being called an idea at all.

Oscar Wilde

Most people would rather conform to society than pursue personal desires.

But there comes a point when you’re not happy with what you see. When your definition of a meaningful life differs from the crowd and you’re fed up of being a cog in the system. This is when you start prioritising yourself over the need to fit in.

Thinking independently makes you dangerous to society. Acting on these ideas will give you a freedom most never get to experience.

Shane Parrish
