All hail the heir to Charlemagne, the new Emperor of the Occident, worthy of the Caesars of Antiquity - Emperor Napoleon I!

What's funny is that Napoleon came to power because of a revolution... Originally Posted by Conrad_Jalowski

That kind old lady stopped the rain for us.
She said it would only make us cold, and miserable, and sick.
We thanked her and hugged her and she walked away smiling warmly.
I miss the puddles...

Yes, it is correct that the turmoil and confusion of the French Revolution propelled Napoleon to limitless sovereignty over the French populace.
Plato of Athens once remarked that periods of anarchy [In this case, represented by the turmoil and disorder of the French Revolution] inevitably result in the accession of a despot. For Plato, the despot [The arch-tyrant of Plato was represented by the Syracusan tyrant Dionysius] merely existed to satiate his crude and wicked appetites. However, the benevolent despot/enlightened monarch [Philosopher-King] would be marked with a magnanimity of the soul [Megalopsychia] and not pride [Megalomania] and would act with reason and wisdom for the benefit of the common good.
Out of the swirling chaos of the French Revolution arose the ordered, disciplined, centralized and benevolent rule of Emperor Napoleon I who overthrew in his coup of the Eighteenth Brumaire the ineffective and corrupt Directory [1795-1799 CE] which was composed of the five venal directors and an inefficient legislative body. Emperor Napoleon I purified the Revolution by maintaining its meritocratic values while avoiding the chaos, violence and disorder that marked the French Revolution.
