One should always consider when taking action, not only the joy and pleasure that follows, but also the anguish and length of discomfort; especially when the anguish affects another party.
The masses will fight to preserve their liberties and freedoms, save for those who have fallen under a spell of delusion by the demagogue.
Those living under severe mental anguish have all but ceased from living. The justification for this state of mind determines the duration; if itβs due to the loss of a loved one, itβs likely to slowly dissolve, but if imminent death looms, the torment shall persist. Peace be with you.
Besides death of a loved one, adversity enhances character and augments wisdom more than any other trial; adversity challenges our will, requires strategic thinking through arduous stretches on our journey.
The great philosophers of the ancient Greece classical period noted freedom and democracy are never lost in a single moment; instead, it disappears over time in small increments like losing pieces to a puzzle one at a time.; Destruction can only be prevented when the people rise in mass and fight to retain each piece.
