Second-handers!!

This is about the deadliness of second-handers. They have no concern for facts, ideas, work. They’re concerned only with people. They don’t ask: ‘Is this true?’ They ask: ‘Is this what others think is true?’ 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. What would happen to the world without those who do, think, work, produce? Those are the egotists. You don’t work through another’s brains and you don’t work through another’s hands. When you suspend your faculty of independent judgment, you suspend consciousness. To stop consciousness is to stop life. Second-handers have no sense of reality. Their reality is not within them, but somewhere in that space which divides one human body from another. The second-hander acts, but the source of his actions is scattered in every other living person. It’s everywhere and nowhere and you cant reason with him. He’s not open to reason. You cant speak to him – he cant hear. You’re tried by an empty bench. A blind mass running amuck, to crush you without sense or purpose.

(These are not my words... but I feel they are as inspiring as any other thing could be... to help us think, create, and believe in ourselves....Keep the faith)
