Suppose we were able to share meanings freely without a compulsive urge to impose our view or conform to those of others and without distortion and self-deception. Would this not constitute a real revolution in culture.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Revolution as an ideal concept always preserves the essential content of the original thought: sudden and lasting betterment.
Revolution is not something fixed in ideology, nor is it something fashioned to a particular decade. It is a perpetual process embedded in the human spirit.
Methods of thought which claim to give the lead to our world in the name of revolution have become, in reality, ideologies of consent and not of rebellion.
No real social change has ever been brought about without a revolution... revolution is but thought carried into action.
People should be able to express their culture without getting into all that chauvinistic thing.
When I grew up in the '60s, we were actually dominated by this, you know, sort of conforming '50s culture, even though we were like trying to express our own culture, like, the dominant culture was the thing that was forming us. And I think that that's true today.
When there is a huge force pressing down on freedoms, sub-cultures with more creativity and power are likely to form.
The world will always need revolution. That doesn't mean shooting and violence. A revolution is when you change your thinking. Confucianism and Christianity were both revolutionary.
It is the same with revolution; so long as the proper spirit is spreading amongst our young men, we are satisfied that it spreads without bombast or parade.
No revolution that has ever taken place in society can be compared to that which has been produced by the words of Jesus Christ.
