Interpretation
The line reframes social and political upheaval—conflict, uncertainty, disruption—not as a regrettable detour from “normal,” but as the very energy that makes renewal possible. Calling turbulence a “life force” suggests that periods of instability reveal suppressed truths, loosen rigid institutions, and create openings for moral and structural change. The imperative to “love” turbulence is not a celebration of suffering so much as an exhortation to resist fear-driven retreat and to treat crisis as a moment for agency: organizing, rethinking assumptions, and pushing reforms that are impossible in complacent times. It aligns with a tradition of activist thought that sees dissent and disorder as catalysts for justice.
