What will happen if all morality is lost?

 


Our history is experiencing something very special.   It seems morality is completely useless in world politics.  They don't need even a pretext to start a war to take all your wealth by killing.

It is a serious turning point in history.

People need to have nothing but a pretext to do extremely negative things before. And now its no more.

They have forgotten all pretexts.    They don't need them.  I came I took and I killed.  As long as they are stronger than you.   It is worse than the jungle.

History will remember this moment.

What is needed in a jungle?  

It needs a really strong power to be a true leader,  just to kick away the unfit ones.

The exact wording is the Latin phrase "Veni, vidi, vici."

It translates to "I came, I saw, I conquered."

The saying comes from a report Julius Caesar sent to the Roman Senate around 47 BC, after his swift victory over Pharnaces II of Pontus at the Battle of Zela. The phrase is recorded in Plutarch’s Life of Caesar and Suetonius’s The Twelve Caesars.

After "Veni, vidi, vici," Caesar returned to Rome as the undisputed master of the Roman world. However, his unprecedented power and the title "dictator for life" (dictator perpetuo) alarmed many senators who feared he aimed to abolish the Republic and make himself king.


*Assassination

On March 15, 44 BC, Caesar was assassinated in the Theatre of Pompey in Rome by a group of 60 or more senators, led by Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus.

· The Attack: Caesar was stabbed 23 times. According to the historian Suetonius, a physician later determined that only the second wound to his chest was fatal.

· Famous Last Words: While Shakespeare popularized the Latin phrase "Et tu, Brute?" ("You too, Brutus?"), ancient historians like Plutarch and Suetonius report that Caesar either said nothing or said in Greek, "Kai su, teknon?" ("You too, my child?") as Brutus struck the blow.

* Aftermath: Chaos and Civil War

The assassination did not restore the Republic. Instead, it triggered a power vacuum and more civil war.

*Antony's Funeral Speech: 

At Caesar's funeral, Mark Antony gave a masterful speech that turned public opinion against the assassins. He displayed Caesar's bloody toga, pierced by 23 dagger wounds, and read Caesar's will, which left money and public gardens to the people of Rome. The crowd erupted in fury, burning the Senate House and forcing Brutus and Cassius to flee the city.

* The Rise of Augustus: 

Caesar's 18-year-old adopted heir, Octavian (later known as Augustus), allied with Mark Antony and Lepidus to form the Second Triumvirate.

*The Battle of Philippi (42 BC): 

The Triumvirate hunted down Caesar's assassins in Greece. Antony and Octavian defeated the armies of Brutus and Cassius at Philippi. Both conspirators committed suicide after the defeat.

*The End of the Republic

With the assassins dead, the Triumvirate eventually turned on each other. By 31 BC, Octavian defeated Antony and Cleopatra, becoming the first Roman emperor. Ironically, Caesar's death cleared the path for the very monarchy his assassins had tried to prevent.
