and the wide line in this system is: the regard for
both individual and society, and ensuring the equi-
librium between the individual and the social life.
For the individual is not the central base in the legis-
lation and government, nor is the big social being the
only thing the State looks at or for whose sake she
legislates . . . !
Every social system which does not spring out
of this comprehension and feeling is either a system
which follows the individual in his egoistic inclina
tion, thus exposing the social life to the most severe
consequences and dire dangers; or it is a system which
suppresses the individual's instincts and paralyses in
him his own nature for the sake of "protecting" the
society and its interests, hence an everlasting bitter
struggle starts between the system and its legislations,
and the individuals and their inclinations! Nay! The
social existence of the system will always be exposed
to failure at the hands of its own promoters, as long
as they, too, have their own personal inclinations
and instincts, and so long as these instincts find,
through suppressing the other "individualistic"
instincts and taking charge of strict leadership, a
wide scope and a field unmatchable for setting out
and utilization.
