We always misunderstand visionaries among us. This is in families, classrooms, office blocks and community. They see what we don't. They are motivated unlike we are.
So we vilify them, judge them, laugh at them, and so on because we want them to operate in life with total respect to the status quo.
Unfortunately for us, there is one type of visionary that does not play games with their vision. If you stood up against them and their purpose, you will become the victim, unlike the visionary that we saw yesterday. Listen to this.

When we are uncomfortable with them, we get scared and we vilify them. Find out how that happens here.
There was an astronomer or a scientist who at the time of popular belief that the world was flat, came up with his findings that the earth was indeed round.
He was vilified, misunderstood, and excommunicated. He was forced to recant his sayings that were termed as heresies. Later on, the world proved that he was right, and it was Pope John Paul the second that asked for forgiveness on behalf of the church about that.
