वगुए ramdomness

"Whoever has overthrown an existing law of custom has always first been accounted a bad man: but when, as did happen, the law could not afterwards be reinstated and this fact was accepted, the predicate gradually changed; - history treats almost exclusively of these bad men who subsequently became good men!" Nietzsche

What i garner from this statement sometimes change is driven by those who resist it the hardest. I don't know just a random thought. Oft times we avoid change because we can not predict the outcome should we let go of our preset illusions of what is currently our reality.
For some unknown reason The above mentioned quote by Friedrich Nietzsche reminds me of Galileo "You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within
himself."
"It is surely harmful to souls to make it a heresy to believe what is proved."
"All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them. "
I don't know but they seem to fit together in my head thanks for sharing another of my random moments.
(yeah that was a day for galileo and neitzsche...)
