24. Political Theory / B. Nature of a State / 2. State Legitimacy / b. Natural authority

19613	It is pointless to refuse or accept the social order; we must endure it like the weather [Cioran]
	Full Idea: It is equally futile to refuse or to accept the social order: we must endure its changes for the better or the worse with a despairing conformism, as we endure birth, love, the weather, and death.
	From: E.M. Cioran (A Short History of Decay [1949], 1 'The Reactionary')
