The future belongs to the people, and
gradually, or in one strike, they will take power, here and in every country.
The terrible thing is, the people need to
be educated, and this they cannot do before taking power, only after.
They can only learn at the cost of their
own mistakes, which will be very serious and will cost many innocent lives.
Or perhaps not, maybe those lives will not
have been innocent because they will have committed the huge sin against
nature; meaning, a lack of ability to adapt.
All of them, those unable to adapt - you
and I, for example - will die cursing the power they helped, through great
sacrifice, to create.
Revolution is impersonal; it will take
their lives, even utilizing their memory as an example or as an instrument for
domesticating the youth who follow them.
My sin is greater because I, more astute
and with greater experience, call it what you like, will die knowing that my
sacrifice stems only from an inflexibility symbolizing our rotten civilization,
which is crumbling!
I also know - and this won't alter the
course of history or your personal view of me - that you will die with a
clenched fist and a tense jaw, the epitome of hatred and struggle, because you
are not a symbol (some inanimate example) but a genuine member of the society
to be destroyed; the spirit of the beehive speaks through your mouth and
motivates your actions.
You are as useful as I am, but you are not
aware of how useful your contribution is to the society that sacrifices you.
