revolution vs transformation

this is the exchange i had with brother sameer (bs) on this post - revolution begins with the experience of poverty.

bs - i would rephrase it as "revolution begins with the experience of simplicity".
csm - the original is fine, but my modification would be "transformation begins with the experience of simplicity".

revolution vs transformation for me is just a speed differential. transformation is slower and more painful.
poverty vs simplicity is a choice differential. simplicity is usually by choice.
