The existing order of things can be improved.

Wise consumption is much more complicated than wise production. What five people will produce; one person can very easily consume, and the question for each individual and for every nation is not how are we to produce; but how our products are to be consumed.

— John Ruskin

You can torture people; you can treat them as if they were animals; you can abuse them in all ways; you can kill them as if they were summer flies. But people will remain free in the highest sense because they have eternal souls.

— John Ruskin

In order to fulfill the law of God as we understand it; a joint effort must be made by many people. Then, maybe slowly; we will move to an understanding of this divine law.
