Today i´d like to talk a little bit about a statement made quite some time ago:"To disagree with three-fourths of the British public is one of the first requisites of sanity."
This quote is from a man named Oscar Wilde, an Irish dramatist. What he meant by saying this was, that if you don´t quite fit in, have beliefs that go against the public´s general opinion, or state something looked upon as inappropriate or very unlikely, a vast majority of people will most likely judge you, and call you mad, disgusting or quite insane. That´s how I see it.
Actually, this quote can be applied to the modern society of today. If you switch out "the British public" in the quote, with only "the public", it would be a statement that fits perfectly well into the context of the world we live in today.
Maybe that´s a little something to think about...
