Spiritual People Sake

More From Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Aside from higher considerations, charity often operates as a vastly wise and prudent principle-a great safeguard to its possessor. men have committed murder for jealousy's sake, and anger's sake, and hatred's sake, and selfishness' sake, and spiritual pride's sake; but no man that ever i heard of, ever committed a diabolical murder for sweet charity's sake. mere self-interest, then, if no better motive can be enlisted, should, especially with high-tempered men, prompt all beings to charity and philanthropy.

The ordinary, utterly mundane reason behind the massacre makes it somehow more terrible, and far more depressing. the word 'senseless' springs to mind, and idris thwarts it. it's what people always say. a senseless act of violence. a senseless murder. as if you could commit sensible murder.
Depressing Spring People
With the people, for the people, by the people. i crack up when i hear it; i say, with the handful, for the handful, by the handful, cause that's what really happens.

Freedom is necessary for two reasons. it's necessary for the individual, because the individual, no matter how good the society is, every individual has hopes, fears, ambitions, creative urges, that transcend the purposes of his society. therefore we have a long history of freedom, where people try to extricate themselves from tyranny for the sake of art, for the sake of science, for the sake of religion, for the sake of the conscience of the individual - this freedom is necessary for the individual.

It is true that so far as wealth gives time for ideal ends and exercise to ideal energies, wealth is better than poverty and ought to be chosen. but wealth does this in only a portion of the actual cases. elsewhere the desire to gain wealth and the fear to lose it are our chief breeders of cowardice and propagators of corruption. there must be thousands of conjunctures in which a wealth-bound man must be a slave, whilst a man for whom poverty has no terrors becomes a freeman.
Exercise Men Giving
The number one reason most people don't get what they want is that they don't know what they want. rich people are totally clear that they want wealth. they are unwavering in their desire. they are fully committed to creating wealth. as long as it's legal, moral, and ethical, they will do whatever it takes to have wealth. rich people do not send mixed messages to the universe. poor people do.
