You say: … AND YOU REVOLTED AGAINST BELONGING TO ANY FAMILY,
GROUP, COMMUNITY, RELIGION, SOCIETY OR COUNTRY.
I don't take that much trouble. I see the point and simply get out of it — there is no question of revolting! Have you seen a snake slipping out of the old skin? Do you think it revolts against it? It simply slips out! When I saw the stupidity of ANYTHING, I immediately slipped out of it; there was no question of revolting.
Revolt means fighting and fighting means remaining there. And with whomsoever you fight you become very intimate, or vice versa: if you are very intimate you will start fighting. So now they say about couples that they are intimate enemies. Either become intimate and you will fight, or fight and you will become intimate.
You see something is wrong — you see this is the wall and not the door: do you revolt against the wall? Do you shout, do you protest, do you do something against the wall? You simply get out by the door! Whenever I saw any wall I never in the whole of my life fought against it. It is stupid! The wall will not be harmed, you will be harmed.
But you are understanding according to yourself…
You are not listening to me! I am saying something else! You are hearing something totally different, diametrically opposite to it.
I am a simple man. I am not in any way interested in fighting any stupid fight. I simply see the point and I get out of it. Only understanding is needed and all that is wrong falls away from you; it is not a question of revolt.
