It is the best friend of Michel de Montaigne, \u00c9tienne de La Bo\u00e9tie. It was a suggestion from <a href=\"https:\/\/eden-saga.com\/en\/the-goddess-and-the-horned.html\">Milla<\/a> who kept me company during the great S\u00e9guinian depression of 2010.

If therefore a nation, chained by the force of arms, is subjected to the power of one (as the city of Athens was under the domination of the Thirty Tyrants) it is not surprising that it serves but rather deplores its servitude. Or rather, do not be surprised or complain; bear the misfortune with resignation and reserve for a better opportunity to come.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-68378 size-full\" title=\"\u00c9tienne de La Bo\u00e9tie \u00e0 l'\u00e2ge o\u00f9 il \u00e9crivit son Discours --- \" src=\"https:\/\/eden-saga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/laboetie-etiennede-statue-adolescent-720x1200-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"1200\" \/>We are made so that the <a href=\"https:\/\/eden-saga.com\/en\/friend-devic.html\">common duties of friendship<\/a> absorb a good part of our life.

It is the nobility of our country of France that to express the most extreme thoughts in a measured language, which sounds and holds back from the first reading.<\/p>\n<p>I had studied this speech during my distant humanities at Stanislas College, under the guidance of my good master Jean Millet. I was the age of La Bo\u00e9tie when he wrote his speech. I laid out a tale at that time, <em>Window on the wind<\/em>.
