Have The Relationship You Want Ebook Free 147

Some writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins. Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first a patron, the last a punisher.

26But the provision is unequal to the task; the means either cannot orwill not accomplish the end, and the whole affair is a felo de se; foras the greater weight will always carry up the less, and as all thewheels of a machine are put in motion by one, it only remains to knowwhich power in the constitution has the most weight, for that willgovern; and though the others, or a part of them, may clog, or, as thephrase is, check the rapidity of its motion, yet so long as they cannotstop it, their endeavors will be ineffectual; the first moving powerwill at last have its way, and what it wants in speed is supplied bytime.

42This is supposing the present race of kings in the world to have had anhonorable origin; whereas it is more than probable, that could we takeoff the dark covering of antiquity, and trace them to their firstrise, that we should find the first of them nothing better than theprincipal ruffian of some restless gang, whose savage manners orpre-eminence in subtility obtained him the title of chief among plunderers; and who by increasing in power, and extending his depredations, over-awed the quiet and defenceless to purchase their safety by frequent contributions. Yet his electors could have no idea of giving hereditary right to his descendants, because such a perpetual exclusion of themselves was incompatible with the free and unrestrained principles they professed to live by. Wherefore, hereditary succession in the early ages of monarchy could not take place as a matter of claim, but as something casual or complimental; but as few or no records were extant in those days, and traditional history stuffed with fables, it was very easy, after the lapse of a few generations, to trump up some superstitious tale, conveniently timed, Mahomet like, to cram hereditary right down the throats of the vulgar. Perhaps the disorders which threatened, or seemed to threaten, on the decease of a leader and the choice of a new one (for elections among ruffians could not be very orderly) induced many at first to favor hereditary pretensions; by which means it happened, as it hath happened since, that what at first was submitted to as a convenience, was afterwards claimed as a right.

64It has lately been asserted in parliament, that the colonies have norelation to each other but through the parent country, i.e. thatPennsylvania and the Jerseys, and so on for the rest, are sistercolonies by the way of England; this is certainly a very round-aboutway of proving relationship, but it is the nearest and only true way ofproving enemyship, if I may so call it. France and Spain never were,nor perhaps ever will be our enemies as Americans, but as our being the subjects of Great-Britain.

70Besides what have we to do with setting the world at defiance? Ourplan is commerce, and that, well attended to, will secure us the peaceand friendship of all Europe; because, it is the interest of all Europeto have America a free port. Her trade will always be a protection, and her barrenness of gold and silver secure her from invaders.

105To talk of friendship with those in whom our reason forbids us to havefaith, and our affections wounded through a thousand pores instruct usto detest, is madness and folly. Every day wears out the littleremains of kindred between us and them, and can there be any reason tohope, that as the relationship expires, the affection will increase, orthat we shall agree better, when we have ten times more and greaterconcerns to quarrel over than ever?

111Were the continent crowded with inhabitants, her sufferings under thepresent circumstances would be intolerable. The more sea port towns wehad, the more should we have both to defend and to lose. Our presentnumbers are so happily proportioned to our wants, that no man need beidle. The diminution of trade affords an army, and the necessities ofan army create a new trade.

173Alas! it seems by the particular tendency of some part of yourtestimony, and other parts of your conduct, as if, all sin was reducedto, and comprehended in, the act of bearing arms, and that by the people only. Ye appear to us, to have mistaken party for conscience; because, the general tenor of your actions wants uniformity:And it is exceedingly difficult to us to give credit to many of your pretended scruples; because, we see them made by the same men, who, in the very instant that they are exclaiming against the mammon of this world, are nevertheless, hunting after it with a step as steady as Time, and an appetite as keen as Death.

Interesting studies by Reverdy et al. (395, 396), Dussau etal. (129) and Behr et al. (31) demonstrated arelationship between increased S. aureus MICs to theβ-lactam oxacillin and four antiseptics (chlorhexidine,benzalkonium chloride, hexamine, and acriflavine). A gene encodingmultidrug resistance was not found in susceptible strains but waspresent in 70% of S. aureus strains for which the MICsof all four of these antiseptics were increased and in 45% of theremaining strains resistant to at least one of these antiseptics(31). Genes encoding increased QAC tolerance may bewidespread in food-associated staphylococcal species (203).Some 40% of isolates of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) containboth qacA and qacC genes, with a possibleselective advantage in possessing both as opposed to qacAonly (281). Furthermore, there is growing evidence thatS. aureus and CNS have a common pool of resistancedeterminants.

108. Hedonism and consumerism can prove our downfall, for when we are obsessed with our own pleasure, we end up being all too concerned about ourselves and our rights, and we feel a desperate need for free time to enjoy ourselves. We will find it hard to feel and show any real concern for those in need, unless we are able to cultivate a certain simplicity of life, resisting the feverish demands of a consumer society, which leave us impoverished and unsatisfied, anxious to have it all now. Similarly, when we allow ourselves to be caught up in superficial information, instant communication and virtual reality, we can waste precious time and become indifferent to the suffering flesh of our brothers and sisters. Yet even amid this whirlwind of activity, the Gospel continues to resound, offering us the promise of a different life, a healthier and happier life.

172. Nonetheless, it is possible that, even in prayer itself, we could refuse to let ourselves be confronted by the freedom of the Spirit, who acts as he wills. We must remember that prayerful discernment must be born of a readiness to listen: to the Lord and to others, and to reality itself, which always challenges us in new ways. Only if we are prepared to listen, do we have the freedom to set aside our own partial or insufficient ideas, our usual habits and ways of seeing things. In this way, we become truly open to accepting a call that can shatter our security, but lead us to a better life. It is not enough that everything be calm and peaceful. God may be offering us something more, but in our comfortable inadvertence, we do not recognize it.
