I have to admit I stumbled into the word Insurrection by accident I did not even know it existed.
I looked it up and and got pleasantly surprised.
And then resurrection sounded a bell. I thought how interesting could there be a link because both mean uprising.
To resurrect is to bring back something that is no longer here and to insurrect is to rise against something already established. There is a tension between the two words.

Any thoughts added would be grateful!
