"as [man] becomes sociable and a slave, he grows weak, timid and servile; his effeminate way of life totally enervates his strength and courage"
"we should beware, therefore, of confounding the savage man with the men we have daily before our eyes"
(we made daisy crowns)
Cumberland and Puffendorf, I am not weak by design. I am not weak in nature's presence nor do I fear it. I am weak when I am subject to society's rules. Therefore I stand before you as queen of this park and nature's equal.
(Thanks Rousseau for backing me up here)
(and I have no idea why I felt the need for a philosophical debate, I am not usually this deep at all)
