Take less to get more

Every thing you do is on the backs of what other people have done already.  Without the efforts of the people that came before us, we would have to start from learn to make fire scratch.  Centuries of effort that generations have invested in you and I, to have all that we have and know all we know, are destroyed working against each other and disrespecting their hopes, dreams, blood, sweat and tears that paid for all of the knowledge we have now.

People who have no respect for their ancestors and their neighbors don’t have ethics and trying to persuade them to change on ethical grounds is futile.  They care only about what they can take and don’t think at all about what they can give.  From their perspective, attempts at persuasion are tricks to take what they have.

The best way to persuade them is through limiting what they are able to take.  Protests have not been as effective as boycotts and strikes have.  It might suck to walk to work, instead of taking the bus, but if you’re tired of sitting in the back of the bus, then walk to work until they let you sit in the front of the bus.  Don’t work for the East India company.  Even though they pay the most and it sucks to have less.  If you want more, then take less until they give you more.
