The following correspondence originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “In Order to Live, You Must Die“…
Rayn: In order to live, you must die.

Renat S.: Reminds me of: “In order to change, I have to die” (Zemfira, Russian lyricist, composer and singer)
Jason R.: Obsession 🙂
Renat S.: Devotion
Renat S.: “Life” – (“leip” – old Indian) remain, continue, persevere
Jenna G.: In order to die, you must live…

Rayn:
“Until they become conscious, they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious.” – George Orwell, 1984
Renat S.: Sometimes one needs consciousness not to rebel
Rayn: Indeed. Yet, when injustice becomes law, rebellion becomes duty – to paraphrase another famous quote. Have you ever read Orwell’s book, “1984,” by the way?
Renat S.: No, I haven’t; thank you for suggestion
Rayn: You’re welcome. 🙂
