Rysard Kapuscinski wrote in The Shah of Shahs: "All books about all revolutions begin with a chapter that describes the decay of tottering authority or the misery and sufferings of the people. They should begin with a psychological chapter, one that shows how a harassed, terrified man suddenly breaks his terror, stops being afraid. This unusual process, sometimes accomplished in an instant like a shock or a lustration, demands illuminating. Man gets rid of fear and feels free. Without that there would be no revolution." (Quoted in the Wall Street Journal, 7/2/2009, p. A13)
The question, then, is when do we stop being afraid to take action? And to borrow from an old children's tale, who will bell the cat?
i'm not so sure anymore
