Is celebrating sales equivalent to celebrating conformity?

Obedience breeds discipline. Discipline breeds unity. Unity breeds power. Power is life.

If I had more time I would debate this with you. Largely because I regard discipline as dedication to one's own values vs. dedication to another (obedience). I do not view them as entirely related except for the matter of dedication. There is no reason to think that dedication to one's values could lead to dedication to another or vice versa, or that such dedication necessarily fosters unity (though you are certainly correct in assuming unity breeds power). I would once again disagree on the matter of power being life. I view power as a means to an end not an end in itself which would entale that power is necessary to achieve what one might desire in life but not to define it.
