For there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.

For there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes

Summary

This quote, taken from Shakespeare's Hamlet, suggests that the inherent nature of something does not determine whether it is good or bad. Instead, it is our subjective perception and interpretation of events or circumstances that give them the qualities of being good or bad. This implies that our thoughts and perspectives have the power to shape our understanding of the world and how we perceive and experience different situations. It emphasizes the importance of mindfulness and the influence of our thoughts in defining our reality.

Democracy must be built through open societies that share information. When there is information, there is enlightenment. When there is debate, there are solutions. When there is no sharing of power, no rule of law, no accountability, there is abuse, corruption, subjugation and indignation.
