The curse of revolution

Abstract

In this article "The curse of revolution", we look at revolution as a manifestation of desire for self-preservation. By this self-preservation we do not mean only something like present preservation of the body, but also preservation of ourselves into future.

We try to do that not only by biological reproduction, but above all through any product of our mental work. In this process, we search for various "fields" where it would be possible to "plant" our print and we also search for suitable opportunity to do this.

If we are successful or not depends on duration and accuracy of our prints in the field. With this in mind, we ask the question of how much a revolution is a suitable opportunity for self-preservation.

We also have the question whether or not revolution itself can be result of this natural tendency to self-preservation. Are revolutions inevitable or we can find something that could prevent, in long term, the risk of revolution? And finally, is risk of revolution something typical for everyone or just for people in some cultural areas?
