Common Sense

Más información sobre el libro

The book explores the complex relationship between society and government, arguing that while society is a blessing, government is a necessary evil that can lead to suffering. It suggests that the miseries inflicted by government can be more painful when one realizes they contribute to its power. The text likens government to clothing, symbolizing the loss of innocence, and critiques the disparity between the opulence of rulers and the decay of a once-ideal state of existence.
