Author of quotes: Max Stirner. Page 4

The originality of hugging him all the original and restores the good name of all that was tainted by Christianity. But originality doesn't have any other scale in General, it is not an idea like freedom, morality, humanity, etc. It is only a description of the owner.

Did I follow my own present purpose, when given the power sensitive? I belong to myself only when are not at the mercy of sensuality, as well as in the power of anything else (God, man, bosses, law, state, Church, etc.), and the master himself. What is useful to me, original or belonging to himself, and solicits my self-interest.

My freedom becomes only then perfect, when it turns into power, and then I cease to be only free and be the own. Why freedom of the peoples of the "empty sound"? Because the people have no power! One breath of the living I'm the man sweeps whole Nations, - still, whether it's a whiff of some of Nero, a Chinese Emperor, or a poor writer.

His freedom regarding the world, I ensure yourself that arrogate to themselves this world, "seize and occupy" it for yourself, by whatever violence, the power of persuasion, requests, categorical requirements, even hypocrisy, fraud, etc., for funds, which I use, is consistent with the fact that I represent. If I am weak, then the funds in my possession, too weak, like all of these, which, however, is sufficient in relation to quite a lot in life. Besides, cheating, hypocrisy and a lie, in fact, better than they seem. Who has not cheated the police, the law, who is not eager to pretend to be an honest citizen when meeting with the detective to hide deeds of iniquity? Who never did that, he then allowed the violence against him, and made him a Craven to his conscience. Restricts my freedom that I cannot exercise his will in relation to another (be it another creature without free, for example, a stone, a creature or a being, endowed with will, for example, government, individual, etc.). I deny my identity, when deny themselves in the face of another, that is when I yield, renounce something, go away.

Religion promises me the "highest good" to achieve it, I neglected all my other drives and do not satisfy them. All your deeds and actions - seated, hidden, and disguised selfishness. But since it's the selfishness that you don't want to admit that you carefully concealed, therefore, not open and Frank selfishness, and unconscious selfishness, then it is not egoism, but slavery, service, self-denial; you are selfish, and at the same time, denying selfish, you are selfish. Wherever you seem, apparently, a notorious selfish, you even to the very word "selfish" treat with contempt and disgust.

Millennium culture eclipsed from you yourself, giving you the confidence that you are not egoists but are called to be idealists ("good men"). Shake it! Do not look for freedom, deprives you of yourselves, in "self-denial" seek yourselves, become egoists, each one of you shall become an Almighty Ya Or, more clearly: get to know yourself again, find out only that you do this, give up your hypocritical endeavors, from the foolish desire to be anything other than you are. Hypocrisy I call it because you are all these thousands of years remained selfish, just sitting, deceiving themselves, crazy egoists, you samoistyazateli, the torturers themselves. Never no religion has dared to do without the promises and "the promise" and referred to "this" or "that" world, "eternal life," etc., for man craves rewards and "free" does nothing. And the preaching of "good for good", with no expectation of reward? But is and then get the satisfaction of it does not contain sufficient rewards?

"Egoism" calls you to joy, contentment with oneself, to enjoy oneself; "freedom" and in the present, and waiting only the yearning, romantic appeal, Christian hope and the future of supernatural, and "originality" - a reality which of itself removes all bondage, blocking your path. From everything that you do not interfere, you do not wish to recant, and, meeting an obstacle, you will know that they have to "listen to ourselves more than people."

To be free - from what? Much is, of course, such that we should shake off. The yoke of serfdom, unlimited power over him, the yoke of the aristocracy and princes, the domination of passions and lusts, but even the government's own will, self-will, for perfect self-denial also comes down to freedom, the freedom of self-determination, from self, and the desire for freedom as for something absolute, for which we shall pay any price, deprived us of our identities; it created self-denial, self-denial. But the freer I become, the more piled on me violence, I feel bessilna.

I am the owner of humanity, I am humanity and not care about the welfare of another human. You're a fool if you, being the only humanity I want to live for something else and not for yourself.

Nationality - my quality, the nation also owns and directs me. If you are strong physically, then 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 submit hands, not squeezing it.

The efforts of the new time aim to build up the ideal "free man". If it was possible to find, then there would be a new religion, because he created a new ideal, a new longing, a new torment, a new reverence, a new deity, a new despair.
With the ideal of "absolute freedom" is done the same as with all absolute, and Hess, for example, it can be carried out "in absolute human society." This osushestvlyaetsya he calls a few below "calling", just as he then defines liberty as "morality", saying that it should begin the realm of "justice" (equality) and "morality" (liberty), etc.

religion is so pushed out of all human man, and so hid in the supernatural that it conducts its independent existence, as the unattainable identity as "God", but errors of this religion is not yet exhausted. One could, of course, completely forget about transforming into a person taken away from humanity, you can turn to God in the divine and still remain religious. For the religious consists in discontent with modern man, that is, in the creation of "perfection" to strive, to "the man who fights for excellence", excellence is in establishing the ideal, the absolute. Perfection - "the highest good", the ideal of each - "perfect man", the true free man, etc.

Wanted to inspire the people and the state that gave them a broader meaning of "humanity" and "universal mind", but slavery was still more severe; and philanthropists, and humane rulers as oppressive, as politicians and diplomats.
New critics are fighting against religion because it sets God, the divine, moral, etc. outside of man, as something objective; they, on the contrary, invest it all as subjective, in person. But they do, again, is a characteristic error of religion that ascribe to the "vocation" of man, considering him divine, human, etc., saying that morality, freedom, humanity - the "essence" of a person. And just like religion, and politics wants to "educate" man, to help identify its "essence", its "purpose", in General to make it into something, namely "true man", religion wants to make it "true believer", the policy of "true citizen or subject". Essentially it all comes down to the same, no matter how to call "purpose" - divine or human. Religion and politics put a man on the ground of duties: it needs to be made here it should be like that. With this postulate, that dictates people come not only to each other but also to ourselves. Our critics say: you have to be a whole, free man. And they are ready to proclaim a new religion, to build a new absolute, a new ideal - freedom. People should be free. It is not surprising if there are even missionaries of freedom, after all, gave rise to the Christianity of the missionaries of faith from the belief that all people are to become Christians. And now faith had formed the Church, morality, the state and freedom forms a new community and begin corresponding "propaganda". Of course, nothing can be against the creation of a community, but you must resist the restoration of the old care, in General, the principle that of us need to do anything, Christian, citizen, free or "person".

Who refuses to expend their forces in a society with such a limited field of activity as family, party, nation, he still craves a more decent society and thinks he's found something truly worthy of love in "human society" or "mankind"; to sacrifice yourself for him, think him brave, and he is ready to give all my life, all the forces in the service of humanity.
