This is the Buddhistic point of view: there is no hatred of sin, the concept "sin," in fact, is entirely lacking. _B._ The _inconsistent_ type. War is waged against evil--there is a belief that war waged _for Goodness' sake_ does not involve the same moral results or affect character in the same way as war generally does (and owing to which tendencies it is detested as _evil)._ As a matter of fact, a war of this sort carried on against evil is much more profoundly pernicious than any sort of personal hostility; and generally, it is "the person" which reassumes, at least in fancy, the position of opponent (the devil, evil spirits, etc.). The attitude of hostile observation and spying in regard to everything which may be bad in us, or hail from a bad source, culminates in a most tormented and most anxious state of mind: thus "miracles," rewards, ecstasy, and transcendental solutions of the earth-riddle now became _desirable_. ... The Christian type: or the _perfect bigot_. _C._ The _stoical_ type. Firmness, self-control, imperturbability, peace in the form of the rigidity of a will long active--profound quiet, the defensive state, the fortress, the mistrust of war--firmness of principles; the unity of _knowledge_ and _will_; great self-respect. The type of the anchorite. _The perfect blockhead._ 343. An ideal which is striving to prevail or to assert itself endeavours to further its purpose _(a)_ by laying claim to a _spurious_ origin; _(b)_ by assuming a relationship between itself and the powerful ideals already existing; _(c)_ by means of the thrill produced by mystery, as though an unquestionable power were manifesting itself; _(d)_ by the slander of its opponents' ideals; _(e)_ by a lying teaching of the advantages which follow in its wake, for instance: happiness, spiritual peace, general peace, or even the assistance of a mighty God, etc.--Contributions to the psychology of the idealists: Carlyle, Schiller, Michelet. Supposing all the means of defence and protection, by means of which an ideal survives, are discovered, is it thereby _refuted_? It has merely availed itself of the means of which everything lives and grows--they are all "immoral." My view: all the forces and instincts which are the source of life are lying beneath the _ban of morality_: morality is the life-denying instinct. Morality must be annihilated if life is to be emancipated. 344. To _avoid_ knowing himself is the prudence of the idealist. The idealist: a creature who has reasons for remaining in the dark concerning himself, and who is also clever enough to remain in the dark concerning these reasons also. 345.
