Summary

This quote emphasizes the promise of a limited government that works for the benefit of its citizens rather than acquiring excessive power. It suggests that the government should prioritize public service, acting as an instrument to fulfill the needs and desires of the people rather than imposing its own agenda. This concept is rooted in the idea of individual liberties and the belief that government should serve as a tool to protect and enhance the well-being and interests of its constituents, rather than exerting authority over them.

Nothing had consequence, I was living in the moment, and I could feel myself getting shallower and dumber. But also happy.
