Wonderful quote and post. I've discarded three different comment drafts and it's becoming clear that my perspective is half formed, so I'll toss out some questions:
- If society can be seen as participating in a "lifecycle", can it also be accepted that a society, or nation state, or any arbitrary organization constitutes a "life form" by itself?
- Is the decay and death of a society "natural"?
- Could it be said the relationship of citizens to societies is similar to that of cells in an organism? What does that implication say about the individual's power to affect the whole?
- Does the "lifecycle" described in the quote have similarity to a human life? Do human children begin Stoic and die Epicurean?
Weird questions asking for big answers, with no expectations. This is just where my mind went. Thanks for putting this out there.
