DO THE CONSEQUENCES OF A REVOLUTION JUSTIFY IN GENERAL THE SACRIFICES IT INVOLVES? THE QUESTION IS TELEOLOGICAL AND THEREFORE FRUITLESS. IT WOULD BE AS WELL TO ASK IN FACE OF THE DIFFICULTIES AND GRIEFS OF PERSONAL EXISTENCE: IS IT WORTH WHILE TO BE BORN? MELANCHOLY REFLECTIONS HAVE NOT SO FAR, HOWEVER, PREVENTED PEOPLE FORM BEARING OR BEING BORN. EVEN IN THE PRESENT EPOCH OF INTOLERABLE MISFORTUNE ONLY A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THE POPULATION OF OUR PLANET RESORTS TO SUICIDE. BUT THE PEOPLE ARE SEEKING THE WAY OUT OF THEIR UNBEARABLE DIFFICULTIES IN REVOLUTION.
