About this Quote

John Lennon's quote talks to the idea that those who are fortunate and rich might feel guilty for their good fortune, which they may feel the need to do something more to make a difference worldwide. He suggests that love and peace might not suffice to make a genuine impact, and that individuals might feel the requirement to take more extreme action, such as fighting or taking part in some other type of violence. Lennon's quote indicates that those with opportunity may feel a sense of obligation to use their resources to make a distinction, even if it means putting themselves in harm's way. He recommends that those with opportunity should not be contented and need to make every effort to make a real difference on the planet. Ultimately, Lennon's quote speaks with the concept that those with advantage need to utilize their resources to make a positive impact, even if it indicates taking risks.
