More From G. I. Gurdjieff
From My Point Of View, He Can Be Called A Remarkable Man Who Stands Out From Those Around Him By The Resourcefulness Of His Mind, And Who Knows How To Be Restrained In The Manifestations Which Proceed From His Nature, At The Same Time Conducting Himself Justly And Tolerantly Towards The Weaknesses Of Others.

A Man Must First Of All Understand Certain Things. He Has Thousands Of False Ideas And False Conceptions, Chiefly About Himself, And He Must Get Rid Of Some Of Them Before Beginning To Acquire Anything New. Otherwise The New Will Be Built On A Wrong Foundation And The Result Will Be Worse Than Before. To Speak The Truth Is The Most Difficult Thing In The World; One Must Study A Great Deal And For A Long Time In Order To Speak The Truth. The Wish Alone Is Not Enough. To Speak The Truth One Must Know What The Truth Is And What A Lie Is, And First Of All In Oneself. And This Nobody Wants To Know.

One May Say That Evil Does Not Exist For Subjective Man At All, That There Exist Only Different Conceptions Of Good. Nobody Ever Does Anything Deliberately In The Interests Of Evil, For The Sake Of Evil. Everybody Acts In The Interests Of Good, As He Understands It. But Everybody Understands It In A Different Way. Consequently Men Drown, Slay, And Kill One Another In The Interests Of Good.
