What would a highly developed society do if one of it's members broke the boundaries and insisted upon doing so? He would have to be kicked out, wouldn't he? Wouldn't that mean that there has to be a balance between surrender and resistance? This world sure is confusing. My poor brain hurts.
My understanding, for what it's worth (which isn't much, apparently, but here goes anyway), is that those in such a society would naturally be evolved enough to live in peace.
We clearly aren't in such a society yet, and it doesn't look like it will happen anytime soon, especially since the fundamentalist religious people (whether Christian, [i]The Latter 3D Church of Selected Teachings of Ra[/i], or whatever) think that there is nothing we can do to help manifest that, and we just need to wait until Jesus comes back in the clouds and then the lion will instantly lie beside the lamb (or the 'shift' happens and poof we're all blissfully drinking nectar, if you prefer).
