Here is some problems with revolution: We wants it all, with no sacrifice. Do you know how much you have to give up to be a part of a revolution? Do you know how much responsibility it takes and how much self-control and suffering? The only way human can evolve is by suffering and give up a dogmatic life. The French Revolution will soon be forgotten, because of socialism. They pull us back to what was before our freedom of the common man.. And I don't blame them.. man showed that they couldn't take the responsibility and become something greater than just something based upon self-glorious bastards, who believe everything is centered around them. Welcome to the new world... just stay in the dark and let them rot up. A greater man should never be bound to time and location.... A greater man is timeless and will create ideas which will never die. A shepherd who will then time is right, whisper a beautiful lie to the sheep... and once again create paradise.
