This casual and soft freedom has used ignorance itself as its scaffolding, it has not been properly comprised, and for this reason, it can not be properly maintained either! A lumberjack can not fall a tree with his bare hands, because he is anxious to use the axe in fear of striking himself! An individual, or a culture by the same token, may not grow into freedom only with the festivals of rejoice and the dance of celebration as its only criteria of inauguration, but indeed must take in account too the forces of destruction wishing to strike terror to all the laughters of this glorious investiture - with bombs, with guns, with mockeries, and with public and uproarious agitations!
