Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness

— In our words · Source: Common Sense (Thomas Paine)

[Use when]

A group blames weak rules for a trust problem. Fix the shared purpose first, then reach for enforcement.

[Why it matters]

People bond over what they need from each other; force grows out of what they do to each other. Confuse them, and every trust problem starts to look like a policing problem.
