A state is different to its government

Despite widespread (even prevalent, in certain cultures) confusion, a state is different to a government. The connection in the hearts and minds of people (most frequently in times of emergencies, as in ‘the state should deal or should have dealt with this’) that leads them to treat the two practically as synonyms needs to be dispelled once and for all. A state is not the same as a government—and should not be treated as such. The state is a Being, an organisation that individualises humans and creates a suitable processing environment for them to live in. The government is also an organisation, but one that is different from the state—in fact, it is the Being that controls the state.
