Yabbut Glatt, that's Western thinking: the lone rebel fights the brutal empire, through just the force of his will if that's all he has left, because the most important thing is to assert abstract rights that he is not offered, in order to seek a better, more just way.
(What a wordy SOB I am sometimes. How do you people put up with me.)
In the desert, I imagine the biggest lesson is you don't fight forces stronger than yourself, if you want to live.
