Realization of any kind of individuality among people is what begins to change Winston's mentality from a loyal party member to a rebel wanting to do things of which the party does not approve. This epiphany is only the beginning of his desire to experience new feelings and be a new person in the context of the Party's expectation. Rebels like Winston hurt the Party when they believe that Proles are human beings; the Party does not want anyone to think this way.

The last part of your question calls for "your" opinion.
