Having enough materially to begin to care about the gens, the people, the populace, the population – a sincere passion for the public good
A village patriarch mentality – grown from the country folk mentality before it
Not for power, but from loyalty, devotion, passion, creativity –
A real orientation toward the public good
And out of geniality, comes honorability –
Then, civic concern –
Then back to the gens, now as the demos, the populus, the people, comrades – Brothers in Arms
