Just look at the list of symbols and it becomes obvious. It is a relatively simple pattern.
However, all our lives we have been trained that actual solutions are much more complicated than they really are.....

"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic ervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both boldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar."
- Julius Caesar
