5.0

The anarchist must be in constant revolution; against himself, his peers, his community. He must embody change, the law of permanent impermanence. He must question everything around him and follow his individuality; to do what he believes is right regardless of outward pressure. The expression of self acting continuously yet discretely renewing itself in every moment; shattering the paradox as the means become the end to be justified. To act from the center of one's being, to place faith in oneself and let the rest play itself out as it will. This is true freedom, and true responsibility. The only thing worth striving for; I only wish I can be as strong.
