5. (Quote #6) - This quote conveys a very interesting message. Correct ideas are said not to originate from the mind itself, but more from the surroundings in which people live in. This is evident within the minds of the people who struggle for their health, occupations and life in general. This is where new ideas originate, and commence the reforms that are suitable to the orthodoxy. Interestingly, it is the poor or non-wealthy people in general that produce these ideas. This is no surprise because these are the types of people that introduce new ideas to society, mostly because they are in need of reform to improve their own lives. Most of the time, the poor was the majority of the society. This meant that new radical ideas gained lots of support.
