“The creation of the world -- said Plato -- is the victory of persuasion over force... Civilization is the maintenance of social order, by its own inherent persuasiveness as embodying the nobler alternative. The recourse to force, however unavoidable, is a disclosure of the failure of civilization, either in the general society or in a remnant of individuals... Now the intercourse between individuals and between social groups takes one of these two forms: force or persuasion. Commerce is the great example of intercourse by way of persuasion. War, slavery, and governmental compulsion exemplify the reign of force.”

We hold this truth to be self evident.

The Creation of the world is the victory of order, under the aegis of the ultimate creative force, which is Love, over the forces of looming chaos.

The creation is Love, the 'maintenance' of social order is Peace and Understanding. As Nick Lowe asks: What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? So where are the Strong and who is the Trusted and where is the Harmony?

Beautiful! I like, "The recourse to force, however unavoidable, is a disclosure of the failure of civilization, either in the general society or in a remnant of individuals."

I think that the civilization in which we now live is completely take over by satan and his minions. Think not? Think again....
