Revolution...Change...Radical...
There is almost a undeniable and irresistible character that these words have. They seem to possess me even before the thoughts are crystallized. There are just too many things that are wrong...Justice as blind as it is supposed to be does nothing but turn a blind eye and the anger and the discontent grows. There are just too many things to change and Revolution it seems is inevitable. On the verge of this impending revolution (even if its a revolution of ideas) I'm reminded of these words which should make people think before moving ahead....
"They don't talk about the glory of killing for the revolution. What's the glory in taking a man from his bed and gunning him down in front of his wife and his children? Where's the glory in that? Where's the glory in bombing a Remembrance Day parade of old age pensioners, their medals taken out and polished up for the day. Where's the glory in that? To leave them dying or crippled for life or dead under the rubble of the revolution.." as spoken by Bono during a live performance of Sunday Bloody Sunday
Words to remind us that passion and aggression must back revolutions that change without destruction...Destruction and a new beginning is something we have tried over and over again and it always fails. We need to adopt a policy of change. Its possible and it shall be done.
A Revolution for change...the word revolution inspires passion and a promise of a land free of the dogmas of the present. A revolutionary's role doesn't end with the end of the wrong and the unjust. The dawn of a new age with new ideas and mechanism for change is the culmination of a revolution otherwise like most if not all revolutions of the past we shall remain unsuccessful.
As adrenalizing as a revolution may seem the ultimate aim of the revolution should be to ensure no further need of a revolution..
Its just a matter of time...The intellectual revolution is inevitable and the will to change will bring it to effect..

I agree and intellectual revolution is inevitable...
but a revolution that ensures not further need for a revolution will have to be brilliantly planned and executed..else it will be lacking again...
i really hope our generation produces such calm and cool confidence to lead the day..
cheers..
Swami Vivekananda once said... give me a handful of selfless and honest people and i will shake the world... its true man.. there are too many things that are wrong, and thats not even the sad part.. whats worse is people are very mindful of that, yet choose to do nothing about it.. pray tht the next revolution is a clever one, not driven by pure emotions, but with a lot more tact...
