Sui Juris

Second Hand Humans:

All acting on a selfish motive to be noticed, liked, admired by others, at the price of their own self-respect, dignity, and integrity. This being done in the realms of greatest importance, the realms of values, of judgment, of spirit, of thought. Placing others above themselves, in the exact manner which altruism, (socialism/communism) demands.

A truly selfish man cannot be affected by the approval of others. He doesn't need it.

The thing that is destroying the world. Actual selflessness. An ideal which they say does not exist, yet it does exist yet not in the way that they imagine.

People livening under Altruism have no personal self. They live within and by others. They live their lives second-hand. Ultimately paying a price and wondering for what sin are they suffering all the while telling themselves that they have been too selfish.

In what act or thought of theirs has there ever been a self?

What was their purpose in life?

Greatness but not greatness in their own eyes of themselves but greatness in other people's eyes. They seek fame, admiration, envy all of that stuff which comes from someone else. Someone else dictating their convictions for them, which they do not hold, but they are satisfied that others believed they hold them. Other peoples admiration, envy etc., are their motivating powers and their prime concern. They dont want to be great, but to be thought of as great. They do not want to create, but to be admired as a creator. They borrow or steal from other people in order to make an impression on other people. There is your actual selflessness. It's themselves they have betrayed and given up.

This is the way of Altruism it’s the path most people follow.

Not selfishness, but precisely the absence of a self.

Look at them all:

The man who cheats and lies, yet maintains a supposed respectable front. He knows inside himself that he is dishonest, but others think he's honest and he derives his self-respect from others, second-hand. For he can have no self-respect he knows he is a liar and a cheat.

The man who takes credit for an achievement of another. He knows inside himself to be mediocre at best, but he's great in the eyes of others. Again replacing the respect of others for his own self-repspect.

The wretched individual who professes love for the inferior and clings to individuals less endowed, in order to establish his own superiority over them by comparison.

The man whose sole aim is to make money, but wait there is a kicker here.

There is nothing evil in a desire to make money. Yet only if money is the means to some end. If a man wants it for a personal purpose such as to invest in a personal endeavor, to create, to study, to travel, even to enjoy a luxury. The man who wants money for this is completely moral.

Yet the man who places money first go much further. What they want is to show, to stun, to entertain, to impress but not themselves they want to impress others so that others will say how great they are. Look at some so called lecturer that spews out some borrowed rehash of nothing that means nothing at all to him, and the people that go and listen but don't give a damn, but sit there so they can tell their friends that they have attended a lecture by a famous name. All altruist living their lives as nothing more than second-handers.

Some may question with are you not making out a case against selfishness? Are they not they all acting on a selfish motive--to be noticed, liked, admired?

An I would have to again say only to be admired by others. At the highest price of their own self-respect. An in so doing they are completely ripping away bit by bit and destroying themselves for the sake of others. Performing the greatest act of Selflessness that one can perform.

Those that teach Altruism, Socialism, Communism they very well understand all of this. You wills always here them shout slogans like the needs of the few out weight they needs of the many, or for the benefit of all mankind. They spread this vicious nonsense. They are teaching weakness and cowardice. It is easy to run to others. It is very hard to stand on one's own record. You can fake virtue for an audience. You can't fake it to yourself. Your ego is the strictest judge of you. Most run from it. They spend their entire lives running from it. It is far easier to donate a few thousand or million to charity and think oneself as noble than to base self-respect on ones own personal standards of ones own personal achievement. It is easier for people to seek substitutes for competence such as: love, charm, kindness, charity. But there is no substitute for a mans competence not in the eyes of the ego. That is precisely why people run and seek the substitutes.

The deadliness of second-handers is this. They have no concern for facts, ideas, work. They're concerned only with people. They don't question: 'Is this true?' They only ask: 'Is this what others think is true?'

Not to judge for themselves, but to repeat. Not to do anything, but to give the impression of doing something. Not creation, but show and destruction of those that do create. Not gaining personal ability, but friendship. Not achieve self merit, but pull.

Perhaps you should really be asking yourself the following.

What would happen to the world without those who do, think of new things, work on new, and produce new goods?

Those producers are the real selfish but in being selfish they provide for the selfless those that will not do for themselves and so they prey upon others like a parasite.

Nobody thinks through another's brain and nobody works through another's hands. When you stop your ability of independent judgment, you stop consciousness. Why stop your consciousness you stop your life.

Second-handers have no sense of reality. Their reality is not within them, but somewhere in the space which divides one human body from another. A relation anchored to nothingness. Look around that is the emptiness you will see in people. Men without an egos. Men without real opinions without any rational thought process. All running through motions without brakes or motors. Power with no personal responsibility.

Sure the second-hander acts, but the source of his actions is scattered in every other living person. An you sit and wonder why we have some many people with mental disorders they are just a reflection mirrors of all the others running around out there that you can not see.  A second-hander is not open to reason. You can not speak to them, they can not hear you. They are a blind mass running amuck, to crush anyone or anything without sense or purpose. Many people see this as a monster that they can not define, but they know its there. That is a drooling beast they fear. But there really is no reason to fear it.

The second-handers know all of this try as they might not to admit it to themselves. They will accept anything except a man that stands alone by the power of his ownself. They recognize him at once by an instinct. They hold a special, and insidious kind of hatred for that kind of man. They can forgive the worst of criminals. They can admire the most despotic of dictators. Crime and violence are actually their common ties. It is for them a form of mutual dependence. They need these ties. They have got to force their miserable little personalities on every single person they meet and even those they do not. Any independent thinking man kills them because they have no existence in him and that's the only form of existence they are capable of knowing. The existence provided from another to them.

Notice the diseased kind of resentment against any idea that makes public any form of independence that and independent thinker shows. Notice the malice toward any independent free thinking man. Look back at your own life, and at the people you've met. They know and they're afraid of independent thinkers. They are afraid that it will catch hold and that men will live not under a system of Altruistic slavery but as free men with free conscious.

And just how did it get this way?  Man after centuries of being pounded with the doctrine that altruism is the ultimate ideal, men have accepted it in the only possible way it could ever be accepted. By seeking self-esteem through others. By living second-hand. And it has opened the way for every kind of horror. It has become the most dreadful form of selfishness which a truly selfish man could never have conceived. An, to cure a world perishing from selflessness, we're asked to destroy ourselves.

Listen to what is being preached today. Look at everyone around you. You've wondered why they suffer, why so many seek happiness and never find it.

If any man honestly stopped and asked himself whether he's ever held a truly personal desire, he'd find the answer to why hes never found it. He'd see that all his wishes, his efforts, his dreams, his ambitions are motivated by other men. That he has nevcer really struggled for material wealth, but for the second-hander's delusion--prestige. Some stamp of approval from another person, not his own stamp of approval.

One can find no joy in that struggle and no joy when one has succeeded. One can't say about a single thing like: 'This is what I wanted because I wanted it, not because it made my neighbors gape in awe or envy at me. Then one wonders why one is unhappy. Every form of happiness is private hapiness. Our greatest moments are personal moments, self-motivated, not to be touched another. The things which are sacred or precious to us are the things we do not indiscriminately share.

But now we are taught to throw everything within us into public light for everyone to come pawing through like it is some form of garbage. To seek joy in meeting halls or in the company of others that we look at and really do not like.

We do even have a word for the quality or the self-sufficiency of man's spirit. It's difficult to call it selfishness or egotism, or anything else for that matter. Our words have been perverted, I think the only cardinal evil on earth is that of placing your prime concern within others.

I have always demanded a certain quality in any person I liked. I have always recognized it at once and it's the only quality I respect in humans. I chose my friends by that quality and that quality alone. Now I know what it is. A self-sufficient ego. Nothing else matters. I can even admit that I love them. But I could never love them if they were my chief reason for living. Not living your life for others does not mean that you have to abandon sharing in the life of others it just means that you find your purpose in life and live it. That little spark with in you that says this is really what I should be doing cause it is what I was meant to do and you run with it to the best of your abilities as far as you can go with it.

Have you ever notice that people end up with out a single friend left? Do you now understand why that happens?

If you do not respect yourself you can have neither love nor respect for others. I honestly hope this helps you see the real problems we are facing and helps you to maximize your own full self respect. It is not an easy road to get there and it is filled with tons of obstacles and pitfalls. An even for you second-handers there is still time to change the path you are one. You can start living your life for yourself today. The decision is yours. An no its not a bowl of cherries but I would live my life from this day forth no other way.
