The innovator
“It’s the same each time with progress. First they ignore you, then they say you’re mad, then dangerous, then there’s a pause and then you can’t find anyone who disagrees with you.”
People are naturally afraid of anyone who is different until that difference is perceived as a value instead of a threat. Many great inventions did not make it through the process from ignorance to society’s acceptance. I have my personal story to tell from defending one of my inventions in a natural drug free healthcare method for horses. Leave aside the torment and false accusations by captured agencies and drug promoters, the lessons I learned in the process of standing up for what I have found proven to be effective and beneficial to society, are priceless to those who are willing to learn, grow and embrace progress.
“Most times, it’s just a lot easier not to let the world know what’s wrong.”
