“In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” – George Orwell


More than often doing something from the “norm” can be considered a revolutionary act. If everyone is lying and you suddenly break the chain and tell the truth it would appear as a revolution. Just like with the adaption of modern English. Everyone seems to be implementing it because of its convenience but if one person took it further than Orwell and rather than just pointing it out, started changing their writing this would be seen as a revolution. It's interesting, everything on this planet has to undergo some type of change. From the moment we were conceived and even after death we experience change, yet in life when humans have the choice to make a change they often do more talking than acting. Change seems to be such a natural process yet it seems like the act of pulling teeth when we have the choice of making a change. I guess it makes the revolution significant, some may say we make this change a living nightmare because we naturally fear change but perhaps we do it to make our change and ourselves worth remembering. If this holds true it sure says a lot about the human psyche, don’t you think?
