Some Lessons From The Actions Of Richard Overton

By Lee Lawrence


Many people in the world have stood out in history books for certain things including ideologies and religious convictions. The same is true about Richard Overton. For those who have some information on the man, it is stated that he was an actor who also had a passion for writing. In the old days, information traveled slowly because of technological short comings. This did not stop the man from spreading his news on pamphlets.

Looking at his profile, you will clearly see a person who was not afraid to speak against authority. This he did when it was the church in question or even the monarchy. As a simple man who simply taught theater, his plays were mainly about the need to have an equal society where everyone would enjoy the fruits of his or her efforts.

At the time of his actions, it was rare to find any simple man daring to protest against decisions of the church or the king. That is perhaps the main reason why many paid attention to him. It is the bravery to face the powerful that made many people look upon him as a hero of some sort. In modern times, he would have influenced many.

For the people who are in authority, the stand taken by the man in certain matters seems to border on rebellion and many feel he should have been contained early enough. The feeling is however different among the subjects who may feel oppressed. He is therefore a hero in some quarters and a villain in others. It depends on your position in society.

In modern day, his life is a lesson that many can take to get hints on how to stand firm against adversity. It can also serve as examples to demonstrate the fact that the law can at times get out of hand. Perhaps it points out the fact that rules are supposed to compliment the peaceful coexistence of people in a community as opposed to making things difficult.

Tyranny in any community is not always a welcome attitude. Many tyrants should understand that their actions although hurtful to many can also turn round to haunt them in the future. It is advisable to think of the repercussions of your deeds each time you contemplate taking part in a tyrant act. This can bring about a peaceful society.

Although most tyrants have fallen along the way since the time of Richard, it is important to bear his actions in mind just as a reminder to any forces of tyranny that may try to behave ion similar character. The society is changing rapidly but you cannot rule out tendencies by others with similar intentions as those in authority in England then.

When all the actions of Richard Overton are taken into account, you can clearly point out that you are as important as you choose to be. It does not matter what capacity you hold in society. You can inspire change from the little position you have at the moment and move further up. It makes a difference no matter how small.
