... money...can't make your life easier... - and that's where the philosophy and art can help you. It depends on what's more important to you, to live right, or to live easily and comfortable...
[/i] [/size]


when i said ''easier life'' -
by that i actually meant the state of mindset and not a material comfort.
also, philosophically - there's no ''right'' or ''wrong'',
there's only your own free will and how you implement it.
so think twice before rebel against society.


... the world is often oposing itself to the individual...
[/i] [/size]


you see, you already sound like Raskol.
the ''individual'' or not -
the ''world'' here would be the one that's always right.
because the world has history and traditions,
and only the likes of Jesus or Buddah are entitled to set fire to it all .

Something tells me, that I will really enjoy reading C&P  Smiley


EDIT
And i wouldn't say that:

the ''world'' here would be the one that's always right.
Let's call it society instead of world. So society is, more or less, aggregate of other people view's and interactions between them etc. (It's kinda hard for me to write what I exactly think (my words don't suit my thoughts Smiley ) especially in foreign language - I hope you understand me). So why should their view be better than mine? Of course your freedom shouldn't reduce someone else's freedom, or hurt him (so it's not absolute freedom, but in world of egoists absolute freedom is impossible). You should have your own conscience to differ right from wrong... When you hurt someone it's definitely wrong.

I don't know english that good so maybe there's something in his style that I can't see... Smiley

i find it fitting because tzar just posts, and thinks he's always right all the time, ... but actually doesn't make that much sense.
.. like stalin.  If stalin would post on here, he'd post the same way.

I'm not English/American, i'm Dutch.  Belgium.  The Flanders.
