A person is what relates to inner and outer powers; that is to say: can be them present or absent


A person is what relates to inner and outer powers; that is to say: can be them present or absent.

Identity, for example, you can have either in an absence or in a presence.

And if you have your identity in an absence, you can very well say, that you are a result of a line of challenges and reactions.

But the thought about challenge and reaction is, for the Idler, much more composite, and has a communicative character. You are not only challenged within a certain area, but from life as a wholeness.

And what you are is due to the way in which you relate to yourself.

War is about things, and our social and moral values are based on things


When it is so important to understand the right relationship with the things, then this is because they have an all-important meaning for most people.

War is about things, and our social and moral values are based on things.

We will not be able to understand reality, unless we understand the complicated process of the will to power.

When we are dependent of things in order to satisfy our lust, they are filling too much in our lives


We have tied our thoughts and feelings to the things, so that we can´t feel happy without them: they feed our vanity, they give us social prestige, they give us means for display of force.

We use things for other purposes, than they in themselves are implying.

That we need food, clothes, shelter, is natural and not wrong, but when we are dependent of them in order to be able to satisfy our love of lust, when the things not only become a psychological necessity, but directly an existential necessity, then they are taking an all too colossal place in our lives.

That way arise the fights and the conflicts for achieving and keeping the things, which we are dependent of.

And this fight is unnatural.
