Chapter 36. Concealed consent
When nature intends to remove something it surely first grows it.

When it intends to weaken it first strengthens.
When it intends to demote it surely promotes.
When it intends to deprive it surely first adds.
This is what I call the concealed consent.
The silent and the weak triumphs over the hard and strong.¹
Like a fish out of water so is the state at danger when its armaments are revealed to the people.
- Mr. Ervast: “Like love over hatred and selfishness.”
