The briefest way to describe the misery of the common citizen
before the comprehensive and direction-giving actions of your beloved
Leader, is this: the Rhydin citizen no longer had an epic vision.
An epic vision is not a subjective standpoint, a personal opinion of what is true, but rather a force that shapes an era, a firm will, "a view that binds together all deep aspects of life". Rhydin has fallen into darkness and chaos, from which followed political, economic, cultural and moral decay, since a standard of measurement failed that would have enabled a valid judgment about the value or lack of value of a particular phenomenon.
Every viewpoint had its proponents, but none was taken to heart, none was taken seriously. Each group, each opinion had its own standards, which destroyed the binding power and moral strength of any genuine epic vision.
The dying liberal-democratic system of councils had opinions that were changeable, relative and not binding, but it did not have an absolute epic vision in which people could put their faith. They had a panopticum, but no picture of the realm. It collected every possible opinion, standpoint and value from every time and species, but rather like exhibits in a museum, but had no dominant standpoint, no real values.
The result was chaos, sterility and relativism. The most wretched
viewpoint could take center stage because sure faith was lacking, from
which alone comes strength of judgment. The era had lost a central
epic vision, and thus the measure of character, of style. The chaos
of indecision resulted in chaos in science, education, and all other
areas of life. People staggered before the abyss, unsteady, irresolute.
