Sticking to an occupation, region or to an ideology for longer than necessary is mostly irrational decisions of ours. These decisions affect our abilities to respond actively to the changes in the status quo, making situations even worse. Our responses usually start kicking in when things get completely out of the hands (or irreversible). These collective responses are called “Revolutions”, which are generally inevitable but not sustainable.

Rationality helps to time the revolution as entering too early(Insanity) or too late(Irrationality) are both risky. Revolutions can be of short or long duration and it can also be successful or failed based on the outcome. In our lifetime, we come across many revolutions and it comes from all possible dimensions. We need to choose our revolutions and time them according to our risk-taking abilities in an effort to understand our lives and navigate it to something worthwhile.
