When you study Shakespeare you learn about “The Great Chain of Being” that begins with the highest being and works down to stones.  Without order – especially at the top – we’re lost.  In Troilus and Cressida, Ulysses says:

O, when degree is shaked,
Which is the ladder to all high designs,
Then enterprise is sick! How could communities,
Degrees in schools and brotherhoods in cities,
Peaceful commerce from dividable shores,
The primogenitive and due of birth,
Prerogative of age, crowns, sceptres, laurels,
But by degree, stand in authentic place?
Take but degree away, untune that string,
And, hark, what discord follows!

maybe that’s why our lives are so disrupted now. Even though we seem to be getting past Covid, we’ve got a criminal trial going on for our Crime Minister at the same time the new government hasn’t been formed. And perhaps can’t be formed.  And we’ll have to try again.
