We are responsible for the rules we have set up and for what is and isn’t in, for determining who is and isn’t accepted. We are also responsible for forcing others to adhere to them. Whether by loud or quiet means, we’ve stated that a lack of adherence is countered with relentless hatred. We are equally responsible for whether or not we follow those rules.

The Taming of the Private Tyrant: An Analysis of the Hydra, the Lion, and the Human as the Image of the Soul in The Republic by Plato This philosophical study will define the taming of the tyrant in The Republic by Plato.
