"Society can be its own tyrant, even when its laws are not tyrannical."

***

 "Social tyranny is often far more dangerous than political tyranny. Even if it does not impose severe punishments, there is no escape from it; it penetrates deeper into all spheres of life and enslaves the soul. Protection from governmental power is not enough. It is also necessary to protect the individual from prevailing public opinion and from a society which imposes its rules on those who deviate, prevents the development of individuality and forces all to mould their character after its pattern."

 "If all mankind were of the same opinion, and only one man dissented, the majority would not have the slightest right to silence the individual, just as that individual would not have the right to silence the majority, even if he had the power to do so."

J. S. Mill "On Liberty"

Death belongs to life as much as birth. So does dying, as long as it is natural, not artificially maintained and prolonged. Nothing against the recovery of active people regardless of age, but if people are kept alive "on tubes and pills" when they have virtually nothing left of life, cannot have anything, and only exist undignified, it is against nature, natural and inhuman. Money is consequently lacking for healthy and other necessities. That it is primarily a huge, immoral business is telling of the state of the world today. That is also why there is a growing need for palliative care and an increasing number of requests to end life where the law allows it (Switzerland). Even death should be accompanied by freedom of choice. Incidentally, 6 million children die of hunger every year.

In order to make it easier to manipulate society, it is necessary to rid it of "aggressions and rebels", elements of unrest, i.e. to maintain prosperity and "harmonize" it - by promoting unnaturalness. This is the road to hell, contrary to real, natural life and its immutable principles.
