If it made you better, the potential for it was already inside you - you just needed the spark to ignite that passion for being a better person. Seriously, this comment section is disappointing - the amount of conservatives projecting their politics onto Picard despite the fact that he is criticizing the conservatives of the time the show aired is depressing. Even to the point where they bash Patrick Stewart himself.

As a child, Picards lessons were the moral compass that I drew upon. Each story taught me something new and gave me clear codes of ethics to live by. It helped to balance me politically and philosophically. It kept me from falling to the easy urgings of either side of the political map and gave me clear principals to live by. This, I posit, is the true strength of Star Trek TNG, and why it is my favorite hands down.

Kayless in TNG is the Klingon Jesus, but unlike on Earth, their Messiah is their greatest warrior. Kayless was a clone and had no answer for how the afterlife - Stovokor - works. Jesus son of Joseph taught reincarnation in Matthew 4:17, 6:19-21, 11:14-15, John 8:58, "born-again", "resurrection of the dead", etc. God-incarnate died sometime in the 40 years after he was lashed 39x and crucified on Friday April 7, 30 AD. The Christ was entombed in the JesusFamilyTomb.com (and on KZread). The soul of God-incarnate has been famously reincarnated many times in the last 2,000 years. Anyone claiming to the the returned Christ must satisfy the prophecy of Rev 5:1 by producing the "book/scroll sealed with 7 seals". I have. See 7seals.blogspot.com - only the 2nd Coming (E=mc²), Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln and Albert Einstein reincarnated could produce that. It's triggered The Apocalypse/Revelation which is NOT the 'end of the world'.

I love that Q quote “Sometimes I think the only reason I come here is to listen to those speeches of yours.” I mean, not a bad reason.

@martinnickell2883

The chief reasons we don't have more leaders like Picard are power and greed. When the love of money and power overshadow moral convictions, they are not leaders, but rather followers of an evil that consumes them while that evil appears to give them what their hearts desire. While doing so, they willingly sell their souls in pursuit of those puny rewards. Such rewards create irrevocable collateral damages in the form of the innocent people they claim to serve. THIS is the price WE ALL pay for their power and pursuits.

Inquisitor Maplesden I find that to be untrue. Starfleet and the Alpha Quadrant, especially, as a whole were under threat of being annihilated by Changelings and their 'Dominion', because they believed 'solids', as they called them, to be evil, since Changelings were feared by them and soon after were being hunted, beaten and killed. Starfleet had to stop them while desperately trying to hold onto what they were because of how deadly and technologically advanced the Dominion was. They weren't like their usual enemies like the Cardassians and the Romulans; Not only were they not willing to sit just around but strike openly and devastatingly, but while entire planets became war zones, there were other Changelings who sought to cause infighting and destroy alliances with different methods than the Romulans ever did. One time a Changeling almost made the Bajoran star go supernova to wipe out an Earth, Romulan and Klingon fleet, alongside Deep Space 9 and Bajor. Starfleet couldn't just spy on and monitor the Dominion, not counting certain reasons such as their location and how secret it was. If they did anything like that, the Dominion would just keep striking, therefor they had to be stopped. fter all, they've already been around for 2,000 years. Besides, why would Starfleet, after everything, suddenly decide their ways weren't enough anymore? Starfleet's purpose is exploration and peaceful diplomacy, and they've always been very strong from that. If you're seriously thinking about Star Trek: Picard, I consider that entire story and everything that will come from that to be apart of an alternate universe, where everything is distorted.

Essentially, less overt/blatant virtue signaling with tropes and more along the lines of rationalizing of and proper reasoning of the values they would seek to inspire in people. Star Trek accomplished a lot of social progress in it's day by imploring logic and rationale... and some really good writing i might ad, to invite everyone to the same table... not the sjw trek of today which is actively lecturing and alienating swaths of its audience today.

Kayless in TNG is the Klingon Jesus, but unlike on Earth, their Messiah is their greatest warrior. Kayless was a clone and had no answer for how the afterlife - Stovokor - works. Jesus son of Joseph taught reincarnation in Matthew 4:17, 6:19-21, 11:14-15, John 8:58, "born-again", "resurrection of the dead", etc. God-incarnate died sometime in the 40 years after he was lashed 39x and crucified on Friday April 7, 30 AD. The Christ was entombed in the JesusFamilyTomb.com (and on KZread). The soul of God-incarnate has been famously reincarnated many times in the last 2,000 years. Anyone claiming to the the returned Christ must satisfy the prophecy of Rev 5:1 by producing the "book/scroll sealed with 7 seals". I have. See 7seals.blogspot.com - only the 2nd Coming (E=mc²), Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln and Albert Einstein reincarnated could produce that. It's triggered The Apocalypse/Revelation which is NOT the 'end of the world'.

yes, my thoughts exactly, he is the father I wish I had. truly honorable man.

"Seize the time, Meribor - live now! Make now always the most precious time. Now will never come again."

Remember when TV shows had a REAL lesson to teach, about true moral dilemmas, and what good character really is?

"Villains who twirl their mustaches are easy to spot. Those who clothe themselves in good deeds are well camouflaged." I feel this one is particularly applicable in our current political and social climate.

Twirling my moustache as I read this quote. After hearing the quote whilst twirling my moustache before. Maybe I twirl my moustache too much.

Both sides have people who twirl their mustaches and when they're online they add an evil 'lol'.

Captain Picard is a man who has the courage to listen to his convictions, speak up eloquently for what is right, and back it up with action, no matter what the consequences. What more can you ask from anyone?

The best Captain and the most compelling series.

he is just the best and the wisest

His “Here it sits” speech defending Data’s sentience is my favorite.

Star trek taught me one thing above all else. The strong must stand up for the weak and speak for the voiceless

I guess you got it backwards. In advocating for the weak, you just rid them of their own voices even further. Give a man fish, and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man how to fish, and he'll never go hungry. Instead of playing advocate, ally, or whatever moral busybodies call it these days, just teach them how to explore and determine their true needs, how to speak up for themselves, and how to communicate said needs, WITHOUT planting any ideas that you deem fit to be there. If you determine their needs, or believe to know them already, all you teach them is to stand behind you, trust your judgement (even if you've just been told by your moral superiors yourself), and never dare to think for themselves.

no YOU got it backwards. People already know what they need and how to ask for it. You don't need to teach them that. (Okay now someone else reply and un-ironically posture about how I got morality wrong so we can keep this value-signaling party going!)

@@jonathan4189 It's not about morality, it's about psychology. And you'd be amazed to find out how little most people usually understand about themselves. The worst thing people can face are other people and ideologies that claim to have all the answers for them.

Tell me about the psychology of yelling at people on the internet who make simple, innocuous statements and criticizing things they DIDN'T say because you feel like you have all the answers to questions no one asked you about.

This compilation is so damn good. I'm in law school right now and I try to incorporate some of these quotes in my arguments whenever possible. They give me strength. They give me perspective. Thanks!

I'm doing an informative speech on Star Trek and how it relates to current issues, focusing on diversity, morality and mental health.

In so many ways Picard was the father I never had, and never knew I needed. Whomever these writers where I salute them.

Patrick Stewart's performance in Measure of a Man is sooo incredible. What an actor.
