What saddens and burdens me is what is visible here - not only what is usual in cities: crowds of people, noise, markets, spectacles, satiety, insults, attracting and attracted, causing and suffering harm, crying and mourned, weeping, rejoicing, marrying, burying, praised and blasphemed, all the reasons for vice, fermentation world, sudden changes (1).
Plato... said that evil will not cease in cities before, but only when power meets wisdom (2).
