The People Themselves Are Not A Homogeneous

I'm A Pessimist Because Of Intelligence, But An Optimist Because Of Will.

Is It Better To Work Out Consciously And Critically One's Own Conception Of The World And Thus, In Connection With The Labours Of One's Own Brain, Choose One's Sphere Of Activity, Take An Active Part In The Creation Of The History Of The World, Be One's Own Guide, Refusing To Accept Passively And Supinely From Outside The Moulding Of One' Own Personality?

If You Think About It Seriously, All The Questions About The Soul And The Immortality Of The Soul And Paradise And Hell Are At Bottom Only A Way Of Seeing This Very Simple Fact: That Every Action Of Ours Is Passed On To Others According To Its Value, Of Good Or Evil, It Passes From Father To Son, From One Generation To The Next, In A Perpetual Movement.

Revolutionaries See History As A Creation Of Their Own Spirit, As Being Made Up Of A Continuous Series Of Violent Tugs At The Other Forces Of Society - Both Active And Passive, And They Prepare The Maximum Of Favourable Conditions For The Definitive Tug (revolution).

Pessimism Of The Spirit; Optimism Of The Will.
