Let’s say you put all your energy and hope into doing your part in the revolution. And, what happens is that the revolution doesn’t happen, or the world ends up becoming a dystopia, or humanity ends up becoming extinct—would you then say that your life was a waste of time?
it’s a waste of time regardless. might as well try to revolt.
