فإذا ما رأيت الشيء فإنه يستهويني، وما إن أتين وسيلة الظفر به حتى يفقد إغراءه - Jean-Jacques Rousseau

The problem is to find a form of association which will defend and protect with the whole common force the person and goods of each associate, and in which each, while uniting himself with all, may still obey himself alone, and remain as free as before.

"Cállate Jean Jaques, que no te entenderán"
La miré, me chocó y callé.

I ask: which of the two, civil or natural life, is more likely to become insufferable to those who live it? We see about us practically no people who do not complain about their existence; many even deprive themselves of it to the extent they are able, and the combination of divine and human laws is hardly enough to stop this disorder.
