Someone Who Does Not Draw Strength From Himself And Who Is Incapable Of Finding The Meaning Of His Life Within Himself Will...seek The Map To His Own Orientation Somewhere Outside Himself-in Some Ideology, Organization, Or Society, And Then, However Active He May Appear To Be, He Is Merely Waiting, Depending. He Waits To See What Others Will Do, Or What Roles They Will Assign To Him, And He Depends On Them-and If They Don't Do Anything Or If They Botch Things, He Succumbs To Disillusion, Despair, And Ultimately, Resignation.

The Law Is Only One Of Several Imperfect And More Or Less External Ways Of Defending What Is Better In Life Against What Is Worse. By Itself, The Law Can Never Create Anything Better. Establishing Respect For The Law Does Not Automatically Ensure A Better Life For That, After All, Is A Job For People And Not For Laws And Institutions.

If Every Day A Man Takes Orders In Silence From An Incompetent Superior, If Every Day He Solemnly Performs Ritual Acts Which He Privately Finds Ridiculous, If He Unhesitatingly Gives Answers To Questionnaires Which Are Contrary To His Real Opinions And Is Prepared To Deny His Own Self In Public, If He Sees No Difficulty In Feigning Sympathy Or Even Affection Where, In Fact, He Feels Only Indifference Or Aversion, It Still Does Not Mean That He Has Entirely Lost The Use Of One Of The Basic Human Senses, Namely, The Sense Of Humiliation.
