"When each person loves the other as much as himself, it makes one out of many (unus fiat ex pluribus)" - Cicero
This brilliant piece by @kacinpoint (whom I don't otherwise know), reflects the true nature of what it means to be a citizen.

Thanks to @PB_Curry for bringing this quote to my attention again.
It's rather interesting that all of the histories I've found on this subject were written by those with a theological bent...
steventuell.net/?p=1861
It's almost like -you know, if there truly is a God - that God would strive to be a unifying force for the good of all...
and, as such, would want us to be led on earth by those who act to unify rather than divide.
That we should choose our leaders on earth as those who try to model themselves in that image - leaders who act to unify through the exercise of free will...
not those who proclaim a desire to unify, but only seek to enact unity through coercion.
No man will be our saviour - ESPECIALLY any one who believes himself to BE the saviour.
We will never find our own saviour among men - but we should choose those who most faithfully follow the path to salvation illuminated by unity and forgiveness to lead us.
p.s., it's too bad we don't learn about THAT Pythagorean Theorem in school...
Now, who else wants an "E Pluribus Fvcking Unum" shirt? 😂
