You yourself create all your misery, hour after hour, day after day. you think the goal justifies the means, even the vile means. you are wrong: the goal is in the path on which you arrive at it. every step of today is your life of tomorrow. no great goal can be reached by vile means. that you have proven in every social revolution. the vileness or inhumanity of the path to the goal makes you vile or inhuman, and the goal unattainable.

You Yourself Create All Your Misery, Hour

Mean Thinking Goal

More From Wilhelm Reich

You think the end justifies the means, however vile. i tell you: the end is the means by which you achieve it. today's step is tomorrow's life. great ends cannot be attained by base means. you've proved that in all your social upheavals. the meanness and inhumanity of the means make you mean and inhuman and make the end unattainable.

The white man knows what a revolution is. he knows that the black revolution is worldwide in scope and in nature. the black revolution is sweeping asia, is sweeping africa, is rearing its head in latin america. the cuban revolution - that's a revolution. they overturned the system. revolution is in asia, revolution is in africa, and the white man is screaming because he sees revolution in latin america. how do you think he'll react to you when you learn what a real revolution is?

A revolution is bloody, but america is in a unique position. she's the only country in history in a position actually to become involved in a bloodless revolution. the russian revolution was bloody, chinese revolution was bloody, french revolution was bloody, cuban revolution was bloody, and there was nothing more bloody then the american revolution. but today this country can become involved in a revolution that won't take bloodshed. all she's got to do is give the black man in this country everything that's due him, everything.

I was born with the wrong sign in the wrong house with the wrong ascendancy i took the wrong road that led to the wrong tendencies i was in the wrong place at the wrong time for the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme on the wrong day of the wrong week used the wrong method with the wrong technique wrong wrong.

A revolution is bloody. revolution is hostile. revolution knows no compromise. revolution overturns and destroys everything that gets in its way. and you, sitting around here like a knot on the wall, saying, “i’m going to love these folks no matter how much they hate me.” no, you need a revolution. whoever heard of a revolution where they lock arms, as reverend cleage was pointing out beautifully, singing “we shall overcome”? just tell me. you don’t do that in a revolution. you don’t do any singing; you’re too busy swinging.

First, what is a revolution? sometimes i'm inclined to believe that many of our people are using this word "revolution" loosely, without taking careful consideration [of] what this word actually means, and what its historic characteristics are. when you study the historic nature of revolutions, the motive of a revolution, the objective of a revolution, and the result of a revolution, and the methods used in a revolution, you may change words. you may devise another program. you may change your goal and you may change your mind.

Gentlemen, let us suppose that man is not stupid. (indeed one cannot refuse to suppose that, if only from the one consideration, that, if man is stupid, then who is wise?) but if he is not stupid, he is monstrously ungrateful! phenomenally ungrateful. in fact, i believe that the best definition of man is the ungrateful biped.

It is surprising that people do not believe that there is imagination in science. it is a very interesting kind of imagination, unlike that of the artist. the great difficulty is in trying to imagine something that you have never seen, that is consistent in every detail with what has already been seen, and that is different from what has been thought of; furthermore, it must be definite and not a vague proposition. that is indeed difficult.
