“ What is it you fear that leads you to act in such haste? Is it that you fear you might not be able to punish someone as you wish if you judge according to the law, and that you would be able to do so if you act contrary to the law? … Do not do this, men of Athens.

Does everyone’s life unfold according to implicit rules? Does it matter whether one understands the rules -or single unifying rule- according to which one lives?

“ To need nothing is divine, and the less a man needs the nearer does he approach to divinity
