The Rise and Fall of Civilizations- Dichotomy of Control

Dichotomia Conspicua Imperium- The Dichotomy of Control

Some things we can control and some things we cannot control.

Learning the difference between situations that we can dominate and the times we must endure will ease a lot of suffering.

Civilization as a whole is outside of any individual's control but how we respond to the events and political schemes are entirely up to each of us.

By CHOOSING to remain strong in the face of both adversity and comfort we can perhaps influence the otherwise destructive cycle of civilization.
