Revolution

Revolution, as how I understand it, is a direct way of addressing a collective opinion with the intention of initiating transformation. It happens because there are always people out there who believe that the society deserves something better, and that they have the ability to make an impact. In 'The Meaning of Social Revolution' by J. Milne, it was written that (social) revolution occurs due to the attitude of consciousness and concern amongst the people towards the society they are living in. On one hand, there are people who are very comfortable and content with what they have, but on the other hand, people want change. The discontent may arise due to inequality and injustice; and people who are at the losing end would be compelled to fight for what they want. Revolution may instill fear. Bloodshed and chaos are bound to happen, but the underlying context of revolution reflects the desire and the intensity of need for progress. The society occasionally needs this very group of people to manifest the notion that progress and the betterment of our kind is measured by our willingness to confront and strive for our needs as a society.
