What is a Rebel?
A man who says no: But whose refusal does not imply a renunciation.
An awakening of conscience, no matter how confused it may be, develops from the act of rebellion and Is represented by the sudden realisation that something exists with which the rebel identifies himself
When does a man think of rebellion? You may ask yourself
In every act of rebellion, the man concerned experiences not only a feeling of regulation at the infringement of his rights but also a complete and spontaneous loyalty to certain aspects of himself.
To put it in simple words when a man thinks that by doing what he has been doing all his he is loosing himself
Perhaps the Best example for the act of rebellion might be the one of slavery
A slave who has taken orders all his life suddenly decides that he cannot obey some new command.
He says "No"
But what does he mean by saying No
He means
This has been going on too long
So far but no further
You are going too far
There are certain limits beyond which you shall not go
The working of the challenging the Status quo is always based on the values the rules on which the system is based on
One who opposes it is labelled a Rebel
Values according to the best authorities,
'usually represent a transition from facts to rights, from what is desired to what is desirable'
The transition from facts to rights is manifest, as we have seen, in the act of rebellion, as is the transition from
"This is how things should be"
To
"This is how I want things to be"
What drives a man to rebel
Is it boredom
Is it injustice
Is it the fear of losing himself
Is it that his limit of tolerance is over
I would just like to conclude that to be subjective
One who rebels against Govt might be the one whose driving agent is Injustice to one self or others
A kid who refuses to wear a uniform might be rebelling for Attention
A man who skips college against all odds might be rebelling because of Boredom
But finally, are not rebellion and the values that it calls into play interdependent?
We could even assert, with considerable assurance, that the idea of rebellion has no meaning any actual cases.
The spirit of revolt can only exist in a society where a theoretic equality conceals great factual inequalities. The problem of revolt, therefore, has no meaning outside our society
Every human tries to delve into his meaning
Everyone wants to search for his purpose
Everyone wants to understand everything they ever land their sight
Everyone tries to explain things to themselves
But a person stops for a brief moment and tries to think it out
Person before he asks himself why
He must answer to himself What how when and where
Those are the facts that humans live by
They are something which is outright set in the world
Then the person advances to Why
Why is what is what
Why is how is how
Why is where is where
What is the reasoning the person is trying to set in his views
That's when he realises it's rather about being logical by virtue of facts
Not by that of personal reasoning
That's when a person looses perception
That's when a person is un influenced
That's when he loses logic
Absurdism is just the name given to such idealogy
In which a Human forsakes his logicality in order to be free from the shackles of Facts that were fed to him
He doesn't need to search for meanings anymore
He doesn't need to answer anything anymore
He doesn't need to live by social values
He doesn't need to follow anything that's being preached
All that's left is the Illogical sea that's to be swam by the human
Not contained in the Room of logic
