“If a rebellion has started – you must act.”

What is a revolution? It is the rebellion of a new regime against the old, aimed at reaching a new level. Something new is being born, but it is still subject to the “old” conditions. In order to break this vicious cycle and free itself from the influence, the “new” must rebel, reaching a level of intensity at which the old will either fall away by itself or burn in the fire of terror (or conviction – depending on the situation and the awareness of the parties involved). But this is always a breaking point. It’s always difficult. It’s often painful. Sometimes, it’s very painful.
A revolution always happens – sooner or later. The revolution ends with the victory of the new over the old or the death of the new: the new will not survive under the old regime under any circumstances. It will either destroy itself, fight until the last drop of blood, or die in some other form, though not necessarily physically. The sooner you make a pact with the revolutionaries and accept their terms, the sooner all the people will be fed, and the less blood will be shed.
Personal transformations can sometimes also be compared to a revolution. A new self is already fighting through the habits of the old, and either the old will win, crushing the new and killing the life within it, or the new will win, and everything will be different, at a new level. Is this an appropriate analogy? A banal revolution happens, and the process of transformation follows the revolutionary laws: sometimes less, sometimes more intelligently, depending on the “literacy” of the individual.
So why does a person suffer so much during the revolutionary transformations of their transition to new levels of development? It is often very painful. Always difficult. Always a breaking point. And the only thing that can help a person in this process is the realization that the breaking point is inevitable, and the sooner you realize it – the easier and faster it will pass. Surrender to the process of breaking (=transformation). Gather all your strength to survive this often very painful process. And simply move forward, through all of it, knowing that ahead is a new level. Ahead is the “bright future.” Ahead is the socialism of personal growth. It exists, it is inevitable.
For this is the only reason for the revolution that has taken place.
