According to Huxley
Orgies, whether sexual, religious, sporting or political, provide that periodical excitement which most of ns are too insensitive to feel except under violent stimulation. Hence such public stimulations as gladiatorial games, bull fights, hexing matches, gambling; hence patriotic .demonstrations, hymns of hate, mass meetings and parades; hence saturnalia, carnivals, firsts of May, fourths and fourteenths of July.
(u s are to be undertaken in order that it may be possible to live m peace without molestation.
