" "من أين تأتي هذه الكراهية الغير منطقية و لماذا تتحول إلي عامل توحيد؟ إنها تعبير عن محاولة يائسة من جانبنا لإخفاء شعورنا بالنقص, أو بقلة أهميتنا, أو بالذنب, أو بأي عيوب أخري تنبع من داخلنا, يتحول احتقار النفس هنا لكراهية الآخرين, مع محاولة مستميتة لإخفاء هذا التحول.
حتي عندما يكون هناك ظلم, فإن كراهيتنا لا تنبع منه بقدر ما تنبع من إحساسنا بالفشل و العجز و الجبن, بعبارة أخري من احتقارنا انفسنا. عندما نشعر بالتفوق علي أعدائنا فإننا نعاملهم باحتقار و ربما بشئ من الشفقة لكننا لا نكرههم.
تتضح لنا الحقيقة التي تقول : إن الكراهية تنبع من احتقار النفس أكثر مما تنبع من الظلم عندما نتفحص العلاقة الحميمة بين الكراهية و تأنيب الضمير.

The most important point is — and remains — not to take oneself seriously. There is no past, and, certainly, no future. There are but a few years — ten at the most. You pass your days as best you can, doing as little harm as possible. Let the desires be few and treat expectations as weeds. You read, scribble as the spirit moves you, hear some new music, see every week the few people you are attached to. Again: guard yourself, above all, against self-dramatization, a feeling of importance, and the sprouting of expectations.

There is even in the most selfish passion a large element of self-abnegation. It is startling to realize that we call extreme self-seeking is actually self-renunciation. The miser, health addict, glory chaser and their like are not far behind in the exercise of self-sacrifice. Every extreme attitude is a flight from the self.
