Summary
This quote suggests that no matter what kind of revolution or change occurs, the fundamental suffering experienced by individuals may only shift in focus, rather than significantly decrease. It implies that revolutions may bring temporary relief or a change in the surface level issues, but the underlying suffering in society may persist. It challenges the notion that revolutions alone can completely eliminate human suffering, implying that a more comprehensive approach may be needed to address the root causes of pain and inequality.
