interests [Theme] Page 1

When a person becomes dangerous to the state, we eliminate him. This is our official duty. We place the interests of the United States above all else. The individual means nothing to us.

I thought it was obvious, but I guess I was wrong, so I need to say it straight out. Fighting feminism does not mean that a person is fighting women's rights. And being for women's rights does not mean being a feminist. Feminism does not have a monopoly on representing women's interests. In fact, feminism itself often neglects their interests.

A person should live at least for the sake of curiosity.

Freedom, beautiful human freedom, is not at all the same as social freedom, which, for example, the French achieved, apparent freedom. Freedom, as I understand it, is the kingdom of the spirit, a high, perfect sense of well-being, consciousness of oneself, one’s soul - the son of the infinite universe - the favorite of the main central force - the Creator. You can be free in appearance and a base slave in mind, in spirit, have limited, petty-bourgeois interests, and you can be chained in iron chains and be free in mind, in self-awareness - to be the king of thought.

“Play yourself, you fat-faced fool,” the grandmother muttered, squatting on her crooked leg. - Give me my herrings, which are due by law... Three pieces.

You need to take action. You need to pick yourself up and get on with your life. Remember what interests you had, what you liked. What used to bring joy.

People who conform to the interests of one part of the citizens and neglect the interests of another part bring the worst of evils into the state - discord and indignation.

Ukraine has lost its chance to be, it has lost its chance for sovereignty, national statehood, its position in the world, its interests. Ukraine simply should not exist.

We don't "lose ourselves". We lose "knowledge of ourselves" and our desires, losing touch with our inner experience. The boundaries of one's own "I" are erased when a person "steps" on his own interests in favor of or striving to please others.

Most foreign governments make the mistake of thinking they are dealing with an ordinary state. For Iranian leaders, national interests mean nothing, and, accordingly, economic sanctions will be ineffective. From the point of view of modern Iran, Hezbollah in Lebanon or Hamas in Palestine are much more important than the interests of Sunnis or other minorities in Iran.

Do the interests of society prevail over the individual, or vice versa? Humanism claims that they are equal, and in difficult situations, the choice is up to the individual.

Man does not die by fate, he dies by his own ignorance. There is nothing with death, there is a lot of interesting things with life.

- So there are still chances? Hooray!
