My religion endorses rebellion. You must be rational, and accept the world as it is–be humble about it. Recognize your powerlessness and still be in rebellion. Say to yourself: “Yes, I resist the world in which I have been flung. I will resist it, and make it into something else”.

Your rebellion must be utterly internalized. Let it be drained of emotion. It is dispassionate. It is not angry or boastful, but persistent and patient.

Certain modes that appear to conflict can harmonize with each other. Humility and rebellion co-locate in the will. Either by itself is destructive. Humility without rebellion is directionless, morbid and self-effacing. Rebellion without humility is spiteful, malignant and irrational.
