However, fruit does not ripen everywhere at the same moment. It is unreasonable to treat, for example, Viet Nam, a land with an old civilization, and a group of mountain tribes from Laos or Africa, still only partly emerged from primitive savageness, in the same way. By wanting to shake off guardianship too quickly-assuming that this guardian is honest and not a tyrant-a population risks falling into anarchy.
