When society involves the anarch in a conflict which in which he does not participate inwardly, it challenges him to launch an opposition. He will try to turn the lever with which society moves him. Society is then at his disposal, say, as a stage for grand spectacles that are devised for him. Everything changes; the fetter becomes fascinating, danger an adventure, a suspenseful task.Anonymous
About This Quote
Society consists of individuals who are bound together by the need for mutual survival. However, if society is too big or complex, it can be hard to understand or become involved. The anarch will try to find other ways to oppose other members of society. He may try to act out through other means.
He may try to change other people’s behavior in order to bring about negative consequences or distractions. If he is not able to change the way that society works, he may attempt to change himself. This self-changing can be very subtle, but it can also be quite extreme, like replacing all of your clothing with the same fabric.
