Civilization is the order and freedom is promoting cultural

Summary

This quote suggests that civilization entails creating structure and systems to maintain order, while freedom is about fostering opportunities for cultural expression and growth. It implies that in an ideal society, there should be a balance between the two, where people are provided with a sense of security and organization, but also have the space and liberty to engage in various forms of artistic, intellectual, and social pursuits. This combination of order and freedom is believed to enrich societies by allowing for the development and preservation of diverse cultural activities and expressions.

Roger gone, Craig gone, Cesar gone, Stevie gone. And this feeling that I'm the last one left, in a world where only the ghosts still laugh. But at least they're the ghosts of full-grown men, proof that all of us got that far, free of the traps and the lies. And from that moment on the brink of summer's end, no one would ever tell me again that men like me couldn't love.
