Why do vested interests love to say "peaceful times"? Because stability is the strongest moat for the wealthy. In a peaceful era with well-established rules, social classes are like being cemented in place—rigid and unyielding. Every upward path has a toll booth; every profitable track has a gatekeeper. No matter how hard you try, you're just spinning within the boundaries set by others. Only when the table is overturned and the rules fail do those who are barefoot dare to let go out of fear. At that moment, the barefoot have the chance to rush in and seize the chips. For the lower classes, calm waters often mean slow death; turbulent waves are the only chance to turn things around. Don't fear chaos. Chaos is disaster for the strong, but a carnival for the ambitious.
