While it's true that one cannot fix the world singularly, one should also not abandon one's core values as a result of this inability.

If we were to pursue a way to unlearn what society has instilled in us as being valuable or successful, there would be a framework revealed in which a peaceful and content existence would become possible.

Tell the truth and make enemies, ...many enemies

The pseudo-intellectual points out the exception to the rule rather than the broader stereotypical truth when speaking in general.

I find it amusing that people who can recognize truth, will choose not to do so if it comes from a person who they consider to be less respectable than themselves, thereby lowering their own integrity by allowing pride to cloud their judgement

They say that there is "kernel of truth I every stereotype" But fools ignore the truth to gain acceptance
