Weltgeist - Thievery of Feeble Minds

Lunacy in the individual
Is something rare
But in groups, parties nations and epochs
It is the rule
Among the tortured eternity
Lies the doubts of man
We suffer more in imagination
Than in in reality
If truth is what you seek
The examined life
Will only take you
To the limits of solitude
Left with your truth and nothing else.

The anti-human, the merely animal
Consists in staying within the sphere of feeling
And being able to communicate only at that level.

The worst about slavery
Is that the slaves eventually get to like it.
A man can be himself only so long as he is alone
the faith is regarded by commoner as true
by the wise as false
And by the rulers as useful
Fools and fanatics are certain of themselves
And the wise are full of doubts
Slowly devoured from within by rasping parasites

You must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame
How could you rise anew
If you have not first become the ashes?
