Death is not natural for a state as it is for a human being, for whom death is not only necessary, but frequently even desirable.

Summary

This quote suggests that while death is a natural part of human existence, it is not the same for a state or government. Unlike humans, for whom death can bring relief or release from suffering, the concept of death does not apply in the same way to a state. In the context of the quote, it implies that a state should strive to endure and thrive rather than simply accepting its dissolution like a human being might embrace death.
