... they are more willing to assume as they should be, require from each the same pursuit of your "I" and "strive to make all equally equal, equally worthy of respect and equally moral or rational men."
Yes, if people were what they should be, can be, if all men were reasonable, all would love each other like brothers, then would come a heavenly habitation. Suppose it come, that people are what they should be, can be! And what would they be? Also not more than they can, that is what they are able, have the power to be. And are they really, for what they themselves can not imagine, so they are not able to be: to be able means to be really. If we state something to be fact because we are in reality. Can see blinded from cataracts? Oh Yes, if he successfully removed cataracts. But he cannot see because he does not see. Possibility and reality always coincide. You cannot do what you do not do as well as don't do what can't do.

People to anything not "intended" and has no "goals", no "assignments", just like any plant or animal that doesn't have any "vocations". The flower is not got a calling to improve themselves, and yet he uses all his strength to as much as possible to enjoy the world and use it, that is, it absorbs as much juice out of the earth, so much of the sun's rays, as much air of the ether, how much can receive and accommodate. The bird does not live according to some kind of calling, but she enjoys as they can, on their own: it catches beetles and sings how much she wants. But the forces of the flower and birds are negligible compared to human forces, and people enjoying their forces much more powerful impact on the world than a plant and an animal. Call, he has not, but he has the strength, manifested wherever they may occur, because because their being consists solely in their manifestation, and they are as little able to abide inactive, like life itself, which would cease to be life, if "stopped" for a moment. You would exclaim, turning to the man: use your powers! But this imperative would have the sense that the task of man is to use his powers. But it's not. In reality everyone enjoys on their own, without considering such activities as our calling: everyone spends every moment as much as he has. Of course, talking about the defeated, for example, that he could more exert its force; but they forget that, if at the time of the fall he was able to exert his forces (e.g., muscle strength), he would have done so; even if lost for a moment the courage. it was minute - impotence. You can increase or multiply your forces with hostile resistance or friendly assistance, but where they do not apply, there is certainly they do not exist. Can be carved from stone fire, but without shock nothing will come of it; in the same way and people need to "push".
So call for the use of force completely unnecessary and senseless, because after all forces are constantly acting on their own. To apply their forces - not the calling and the task of people and their uninterrupted, permanent act. Force - only a more simplified word for the expression of the manifestation of power.

Comical one who "boasts" merits of members of his family, family, nation, etc., which, indeed, many did, but a blinded one who wants to be a "man." None of them sees their value in exclusivity, sees it only in connection or "bond", linking it with others, in blood ties, the national, human, etc.
Thanks to modern "nationalists" re excited debate between those who think that they have human blood and human ties of blood, and those who claim a special blood and the special ties of blood.
Apart from the fact that pride may Express an exaggerated self-esteem, and taking it only for the conscious attitude, we must recognize the vast difference between those who are proud of their "belonging" to the nation, the fact that he is her property, and those who call the nation their property. Nationality - my quality, the nation also owns and directs me. If you are strong physically. you can apply, as appropriate, their strength and be proud of it, but if you your strong body owns you, you are constantly torn in a fight in the most inappropriate cases, no one you can shake hands, not squeezing it.

The state rests on the enslavement of labor. When labor will overthrow this yoke of slavery, then the end will come and the state.

In the Only even the owner returns to his creative nothing from which it came. Every higher essence above me, be it God or man, weakens the feeling of my oneness, and only under the dazzling rays of the sun of this consciousness fades it. If I build my business for myself Only, then it rests on the transitory, mortal Creator, who destroys itself and I can say:
"Nothing - that's what I built my business".

... You can think I'm advocating the return to the natural state. As I live in the world, to implement some ideas? To facilitate the implementation of the "idea of state" his loyalty or "ideas of the family" - marriage, as the husband and father? What do I care about such callings. I do not live in any vocation, like a flower that grows and blossoms without performing any "debt".

... To the egoist only his history has value, because it seeks to develop only himself, not the idea of mankind, not God's plan, not the intention of Providence, not liberty, etc. He does not consider himself an instrument of the idea or a vessel of the Lord, he recognizes no calling, he's not delusional that exists for the continuation and development of the human race, he lives his life wasting it, not caring what, bring it to the benefit of mankind.

A single person can only participate in the establishment of the Kingdom of God on earth, or, in modern style, the development of human history, and only because they participated in it so far is Christian, or, in modern terminology, of human value; in all other respects it is dust and ashes.

The magic circle of Christianity would be violated if gone is the contradiction between existence and calling, that is, between me as I am and me as I should be. It exists only in the form of melancholy ideas on your implementation and disappears together with this division; only when the idea remains the idea (a man and mankind - only an unrealized idea), there is still Christianity. Idea, body or "perfect" the spirit that hovers before the eyes of the Christian as "the end times" or as the "goal of history"; in the present it does not exist for him.

The task of a single individual is not serving the family as the divine, on the contrary, the challenge is in the service of the divine, to subordinate the family, that is to surrender everything in the name of ideas, to assert everywhere the banner of ideas to make the idea reality.

The fact that the pagan Stoics were exhibited as 'wise man' corresponds in today's culture, "man", and he and the other incorporeal creatures. Invalidate the "wise man," this bodiless "Holy one" of the Stoics, became a real person, a bodily "Holy" in God made flesh; the void "man" bodily I will become a reality in the bodily I, in me.

Pre-Christian and Christian epochs pursue opposite goals; the first wants to idealize the real, the second - to realize the ideal, the first is looking for the "Holy spirit" and "spiritual flesh." Therefore, the first ends insensitivity to the real, with "contempt for the world", the second "contempt for the spirit."
Contrast the real and the ideal are irreconcilable, and one can never become the other: if the ideal has become real, it would not have been more perfect, and if the real became the ideal, then there would be only perfect, but real was not at least. The contradiction between them can be overcome only when you destroy something, and more. Only in this third, that destroy may be the end of this antithesis: otherwise idea and reality will never collide with each other. The idea can not be implemented so that it remained an idea, and is realized only when it is dead as an idea; the same applies to real.

Always thought that you need to give me outside my purpose - so that I was assured at the end that I should arrogate to itself the human, for I = person. This is the magic circle of Christianity. I, which says Fichte, is the same essence outside me, for I am each and every, and if I have the right, therefore, "I" has them, not me personally. But I'm not I'm with other, I single: I'm the only one. Therefore, my needs and my deeds only, - in short, everything about me is unique. And just as it is the only one I assign myself and as such I maintain and develop themselves. Not as a person and develop myself and not the person develop me: I develop myself.
This is the meaning of the Only.

Consider yourself more powerful than you think, and you'll have more power; think big, and you can have more. In this case, not only are you called to everything divine, but also have the right to all human, you and the owner of his, that is all you can do with your property, you have the ability and created everything that is yours.
