Society destroys everything it is not ready for...
We poisoned Socrates, we crucified Jesus, we beheaded Mansoor, we jailed osho, this pretty much tells the story of humanity.
Recently I was reading about the osho, a enlightened being who tried to wake People up, who tried to bring some transformation in the consciousness of society, but the way he was treated by the society was simply appalling.
I realized there is a pattern in the way people or society behave. One should never attack the society from outside while one aspire to transform the people because then society becomes protective of their values and system. Whosoever challenged the idea cultivated by the society, he was destroyed in return, because society indentifies itself with some values and morals and fight for those ideals whenever they feels someone is threatening their ideals.
A bucket can't take more than its capacity, similarly a society can't take something it is not ready for. That is why rather than transforming the society one should work on individual transformation without alerting the collective society about it. They are set in their ways and they don't want to change those ways because change always creat fear and suspicion and whatever they (society) are suspicious of they will destroy it definitely.
And actually if we see, society is just our creation it is an abstract thing it is not a real thing so one can never act directly upon the society because it doesn't exist and how can you transform something which do not exist. This need to be understood that individuals form the society, so a change in society can only come from the individuals forming that society.
Namaskar.

Our knowledge is nothing but just empty words
Your idea is fiction of your mind
Are you still a seed or have you turned into the flower
Cast your vote or cast yourself aside
Why sunset induces a sense of calm in us
Why it is better to keep your prejudices aside when traveling
Listen to the people blindly and blind will you become
Bye, take care.
