The dictionary definition of rebellion is "an act of
violent or open resistance to authority." But my question is, can compliance be
a form of rebellion? In a way, yes. For example, someone tells you to stop
talking, and you stay silent even when you are asked a question by this same
person. Compliance is rebellion for the silent. It is for people who do not
like to be violent and who are not for peaceful protest either. It is rebellion
for the people with no voice, for the invisible.
But is it effective? In a minor rebellion against your parents or
a teacher? Maybe. However, for something such as overthrowing a government, I
do not see it as effective. You should want your voice to be heard, you should
want to be seen. The way to make a difference is to resist society, not give
into it. There is a saying that “well behaved women rarely make history."
We cannot be “well behaved rebels." We need to take a stand.
