Second-handers

Look arnd us, we wonder why people suffer? Coz they seek happiness and never find it. If any man stopped and asked himself whether he's ever held a truly personal desire, he'd find the answer. He'd see that all his wishes, his efforts, his dreams, his ambitions are motivated by other men. He's not really struggling even for material wealth, but for the second-hander's delusion-prestige. A stamp of approval from others, not his own. He can find no joy in the struggle and no joy when he has succeeded. Then he wonders why he's unhappy. Every form of happiness is private. Our greatest moments are personal, self-motivated, not to be touched. The things which are sacred, pure and precious need not be approved by the world.
Egoists are the people who work through their own brain. Second-handers thinking pattern: not to judge but to repeat, not to do but to give the impression of doing, not creation but show, not ability but friendship, not merit but pull. When we suspend our faculty of independent judgment we suspend consciousness. To stop consciousness is to stop life. Second-handers have no sense of reality. The second-hander acts, but the source of his actions is scattered in every other living person. It can be portrayed as "a blind mass running amuck, to crush you without sense or purpose...."
