Fulfillment ~ "2023, a Year of Goodbyes"
Wisdom
"Tis a Mistake to think this Fault
[tyranny] is proper only to Monarchies; other Forms of Government are
liable to it, as well as that. For where-ever the Power that is put in
any hands for the Government of the People, and the Preservation of
their Properties, is applied to other ends, and made use of to
impoverish, harass, or subdue them to the Arbitrary and Irregular
Commands of those that have it: There it presently becomes Tyranny,
whether those that thus use it are one or many."
-- John Locke
(1632-1704) English philosopher and political theorist
