While the French Revolution was the catalytic converter of Western Civilization, an attempt to erase all signs of the faith that built said civilization, the three witches in this 'play' are Marx, Darwin.....and the man whose birthday is this date.

We began a journey following the paths of Moses and Jesus, and then, at some point had taken the wrong fork in the road, this one following the three witches, Freud, Marx and Darwin.
1.When Albert Camus wrote âThe Rebel,â he put his finger on an aspect of human nature that most of us have, more so as youth, but, still, throughout our lives. We yearn to stand out, to be different, âŚwe see it when the prettiest girl runs off with the âbad boy,â or when the wild haired radical is the one everyone is talking about. True, family, and the desire for success often smooths the edges off, moderates how âdifferentâ one chooses to be, and sometimes, later on, when weâve given up most of that rebellion, we might come to resent those who actually carry it offâŚ..but in our youth, we have it.
Itâs all about the degree and desire to rebel.
2. Freud claimed he could document and explain that need to rebel, relating it to a biological phenomenonâŚ. âThe Rebel Instinct: How Each Generation's Need To Out-Rebel The Previous Generation Is Pushing Society To Wild Extremesâ The Rebel Instinct: How Each Generation's Need To Out-Rebel The Previous Generation Is Pushing Society To Wild Extremes
But whether it is psychological or biologicalâŚâŚ.it appears, most significantly, to be political.
3. A tip of the hat to Freud: there is no disputing the desire to stop taking orders from parents. OK. But it grows, in many, to the desire to not have to show respect, take orders from, or to mirror the style and tradition of an older, more successful generation. Perhaps the claim that socialists/communists are all about greed, to take from the successful without the work that went into that success...âYou didnât build that!â âŚisnât just to get the material thingsâŚ
........itâs the psychological reward of rebellion.
While Judeo-Christian values combined individual worth with reason and free will, Sigmund Freud denied free will, and posited a life of forced actions and neurosis based on childhood events.
