"革命は歴史的進化の最高潮ではなく、それに対する陰謀である"

Erich Fromm

Simplified Meaning:

A revolution isn't the biggest moment in a long history but rather a secret plan trying to change the direction that history is naturally going. Imagine a river flowing smoothly in one direction, representing history moving along its usual path. A revolution is like people building a dam or redirecting the river to take it somewhere else. While this might fix certain issues or give rise to something new, it disrupts the natural course and rhythm. Think about the American or French revolutions; they didn't just come out of nowhere. They were deliberate actions taken to completely change or fight against the existing systems and the way things were supposed to progress. This means that revolutions are intentional interruptions, not just inevitable climaxes. In your own life, if you’re trying to make dramatic changes, realize that it might feel less like the natural next step and more like actively pushing against your current way of life.
