About this Quote

This quote by Ursula K. Le Guin speaks to the concept that those who take advantage of a revolution are frequently unthankful for the changes it brings. This is not to say that they are ungrateful for the sacrifices made by those who fought for the revolution, but rather that they take the brand-new flexibilities and chances for granted. The quote recommends that the transformation needs to be grateful for this absence of appreciation, as it is a sign that the revolution has actually succeeded in developing a much better world for those who come after. It is a pointer that the work of a revolution is never done, which those who take advantage of it must strive to make the world even much better for those who come after them. The quote likewise serves as a pointer that those who defend a transformation must not anticipate thankfulness from those who gain from it, however need to instead be content with the understanding that they have actually made the world a better location.
