This quote by Garrett Hardin is describing the idea of the "Tragedy of the Commons". This concept states that when sources are shared by a team of individuals, they will be excessive used and at some point depleted. This is since people will certainly act in their very own self-interest as well as take more than their reasonable share of the resources, leading to a situation where every person suffers. Hardin's quote is highlighting the fact that when flexibility is given to individuals to access a shared source, it will at some point cause the wreck of all. This is because individuals will certainly take greater than their reasonable share, causing a scenario where the source is diminished and no person benefits. Hardin's quote is a cautioning to be conscious of just how sources are shared and also to make certain that everyone has access to their fair share.

"The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom. For in all the states of created beings capable of law, where there is no law, there is no freedom"
"Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future"
