It’s like the Japanese saying: A nail that stands up gets hammered down. If you’re different‚ especially in a better way‚ you will likely not be appreciated by others (at least until the superiority of your ideas has been demonstrated so that even the unimaginative can understand their merit). Further‚ people scorn
