Revolutionary Challenge

Something interesting about consciousness of the poverty of everyday life: The overwhelming consciousness of a lack of substance can make one a revolutionary, but the coming to consciousness of this lack is an assignment, not a call: the revolutionary hunger must be fed with knowledge not easy to attain, despite the fundamental knowledge of hunger, which feels substantial only because, being a lack, though a total one, it is essentially identical to that substance spooned out daily in small servings.
