Summary

This quote, often attributed to Shakespeare's play Hamlet, reflects on the nature of empathy and personal connection. It questions the relevance and significance of one individual's sorrow for another's suffering. In this context, the speaker ponders why anyone should shed tears for Hecuba, the Queen of Troy, as she holds no direct relevance or importance to them. It challenges the notion of emotional investment in others and invites contemplation on the foundations of compassion and the limits of human empathy.

Yet where does this anarchy exist? Where did it ever exist,

Yet where does this anarchy exist? Where did it ever exist, except in the single instance of Massachusets? And can history produce an instance of a rebellion so honourably conducted? God forbid we should ever be 20. years without such a rebellion. The people can not be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty.
