Placidity has its price. Placid people tend to get invaded, made use of, exploited
and vandalised, and so on. Placid people need to learn to take care of themselves and
maybe bulwark much better. It may not do merely to get firmer.Ancients, including Greek heroes, tackled many problems, built fortified cities and walls and engaged in warfare, and had many other choices as a result of that. Progressive culture levels were one "fruit" of withstanding invasions and preserving one's freedom degress a lot. Ancients were at least potentially quick-tempered, for that is natural. A problem of our times is that dispensing with what is natural, or relevant parts of it, breeds curbing, and slowly this gives rise to diseases of various sorts. Stress is in part a consequence of not behaving naturally, but of restraining oneself in stressful conditions over and over, till "the dam" of control breaks, and even more serious problems are formed. We have indicated a great problem. Sage Words
