Summary

The quote suggests that over the years, the government has not displayed any trust in the continuity of peace or in its ability to prevent war. From 1836 until recently, there has been no evidence indicating that the government feels more confident about maintaining peace or ensuring a higher level of security against conflicts. This implies a lack of assurance or measures taken to promote lasting peace and avoid potential conflicts.

You were born together, and together you shall be for evermo

You were born together, and together you shall be for evermore...But let there be spaces in your togetherness...Love one another, but make not a bond of love. Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not of the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
