You’ve heard the voice, when you’ve wanted to change poor habits of health, some injustice in the world, some religious tradition you’ve never really critically examined, or that job you’re barely tolerating. It’s the voice that whispers to you that people will think you’re strange, and may even laugh at you if you dare try to go against what everyone else is doing.

It’s defined as a refusal of obedience or order. Wikipedia goes on to say that a rebellion can encompass anything from non-violent resistance, to violent, or organized attempts at overthrowing some established authority.

I told myself, like you told yourself.  This wouldn’t happen again.  Driving away into the night, we muttered the silent promises people do when they’ve reached the end of themselves.  When they have discovered that they really are not just one person.  That we all have to fight a war between the best of ourselves, [...]

Here’s a list of 10 Books that have shaped my thinking. This list, by no means, is my top 10, nor is it necessarily listed in order of importance(Except for the 1st one).  The only real danger here is in placing yourself between the white and black pages of ideas that force one to confront [...]
