Journal #32 - Revolution

When I think of the word "revolutionize", I think of changing the mind set of a lot of people. Hopefully, the new mindset is one that is better than the previous, leading to a better world. I imagine that it is incredible to experience a revolution. Everything around you is changing, and you can take that as a good thing or a bad thing. However, I can also imagine the hardships that one would have to go through in order to revolutionize something. It would be pretty tough to change the mindset of so many people. Everything would have to be organized in a way that works for everyone, or that the people can deal with. When I think of a revolution, I think of the American Revolution. I also think of the sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra, but that is another story. The American Revolution took a lot of thought and dedication. In order for it to take place, many people had to get involved and show equal amounts of dedication and devotion to the cause. That is what makes such revolutions work. Some revolutions can also be bad, in which normally only a few people are involved. In that case, I imagine that the task of revolutionizing the way people think or do things would be pretty tough. Now that I think about it, since we're talking about poetry through Emily Dickinson, It could be pretty easy to get your thoughts and ideas across. Emily Dickinson, where a lonely woman who spent her life in solitude, got her ideas across through her numerous poems. The poems spread to the people of the world and through her descriptions of her thoughts and ideas, the readers were able to see the world in a whole new way... Dickinson's way. In a way, this was a revolution, because it took a large group of people and made them think in a different way. That is quite a revolution.
