The greatest tyrannies are always perpetuated in the name of the noblest causes.
Thomas Paine
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
C. S. Lewis
We’re all living in the same ocean and each of us gets to describe the taste of the ocean in our own words. Maybe what that tells us about our fellow fish is the point.
