Summary

This quote suggests that the existence of a state is a result of human needs. It highlights that no individual can fulfill their own needs entirely, but instead, everyone has numerous wants that require the support and cooperation of others. Thus, a state is created to satisfy these collective needs and ensure the well-being of its members through the establishment of systems and structures that enable the fulfillment of various wants and desires within a society.

It is fatally easy for Western folk, who have discarded chastity as a value for themselves, to suppose that it can have no value for anyone else. At the same time as Californians try to re-invent celibacy, by which they seem to mean perverse restraint, the rest of us call societies which place a high value on chastity backward.
