The truth of the revolution is that we are in revolt against our own past errors.
I wonder how many others read 1984 and noticed the main character made absolutely no effort to understand the world beyond his initial fears.
It usually comes down to fear. There is far more power in this world derived from people's fears than from actual capacity to dominate others. It won't solve every problem, but learning and self improvement is far more effective than one would think in a general sense. Societies thrive when people are invested in bettering themselves, and decays when they're wracked with fear.
This has been the major failing point of "progressive" politics, that they've focused excessively upon everything they're afraid of, instead of taking advantage of the new opportunities they found to better themselves.
We'll get there together eventually though, which is why people keep coming back to help others. It's scary as hell (literally) from one side of things, but worth every tear once you're through.
Could be argued that people don't care because they're afraid they don't have what it takes to obtain anything better.
Anon once excelled at something, then put substantial time into understanding why others didn't excel (despite having plenty of talent in anon's opinion). Some had good reasons, but the most common by far seemed to be that they had convinced themselves they couldn't do it.
It's kind of wild how far that approach can get you.
In a way that's actually how everything works after all the rest is cast aside.
If you're being earnest, you may be missing important information.
Keep going with your focus on what's directly important to your own life; verifiable by what you experience directly in the real world.
Worrying excessively about things beyond your reach is needlessly paralyzing too many right now.
I love the Japanese proverb that "effort will never betray you."
I've applied my efforts in some very unorthodox directions through my life, yet I've got no complaints at all as to the results, because they're opening doors that an ordinary life would never even encounter.
I wish more people understood how hard their own body is working to keep them alive, when they lose faith in themselves.
Success has never been a destination, yet rather it's an entire way of living which began long before anyone was born, and will continue for all of time.
