????The Philosopher

?????????

????The philosopher is ultimately driven by a need for safety and security which is expressed through tight control. A well-ordered?? predictable system that always follows clear principles is the philosopher’s beautiful vision of heaven. Chaos is anathema. Beauty is found in order.
