If men cease to believe that they will one day become gods then they will surely become worms.
~ Henry Miller
Each one individually must revolt against a way of life which is not his own. The revolt, to be effective, must be continuous and relentless.
It is not enough to overthrow governments, masters, tyrants: one must overthrow his own preconceived ideas of right and wrong, good and bad, just and unjust. We must abandon the hard-fought trenches we have dug ourselves into and come out into the open, surrender our arms, our possessions, our rights as individuals, classes, nations, peoples.
There is no right or wrong or good or bad. These are artificial constructs which come from a limited amount of knowledge and experience which are then adjudged accordingly, usually on the basis of answering the question, "did I get what I want?? No!". This isn't a solution - it's only whining in a slightly different form. The only correct judgment, if you will, is does it work or does it not? This is determined by observation of the best scientific test of all: Trial and Error.
