When I saw that opening quote from Plato. I thought to myself "yep, that seems about right to me."

Then I thought I would share another quote froim Plato who lived in Ancient Greece about 300 years BC.

"When the tyrant has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty, and there is nothing to fear from them, then he is always stirring up some war or other, in order that the people may require a leader."

Plato: The Republic

John 14:27

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, do I give unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid.
