INDEPENDENCE?: NO COUNTRY IS RICH ENOUGH TO KEEP A POET IN ITS PAYROLL

Independence is not a commodity but, ceteris paribus, the cheapest and irreplaceable individual's wealth and-when added- the most needed and expensive commons for any society pic.twitter.com/ObYlzQ9iT4

Thank you for your #common #ground and #bond

 INDEPENDENCE IS NOT A COMMODITY BUT, CETERIS PARIBUS, THE CHEAPEST AND IRREPLACEABLE INDIVIDUDUAL'S WEALTH, AND -WHEN ADDED- THE MOST NEEDED AND EXPENSIVE COMMONS FOR ANY SOCIETY

 

YOU CAN HAVE BOTH SOCIETY AND COMMODITIES BUT NEVER WITHOUT INDEPENDENCE AND INDEPENDENCE DRIVEN COMMONS 

 

"FREE RIDERS" RIDE ON BOTH: OTHER'S INDEPENDENCE AND THE COMMONS. THAT IS GARRETT HARDIN'S "TRAGEDY OF THE COMMONS"

 

 Many silent, as well as famous, lives have been the result of no mean thought, though it was never adequately expressed nor conceived; and perhaps the most illiterate and unphilosophical mind may yet be accustomed to think to the extent of the noblest action. We all know those in our own circle who do injustice to their entire character in their conversation and in writing, but who, if actually set over against us, would not fail to make a wiser impression than many a wise thinker and speaker.

(…)

But, alas! What is Truth? That which we know not. What is Beauty? That which we see not. What is Heroism? That which we are not. It is in vain to hang out flags on a day of rejoicing — fresh bunting, bright and whole; better the soiled and torn remnant which has been borne in the wars.

 

(HTD, Sir Walter Raleigh)
