Man
has
no
automatic
code
of
survival
.
His
particular
distinction
from
all
other
living
species
is
the
necessity
to
act
in
the
face
of
alternatives
by
means
of
volitional
choice
.
He
has
no
automatic
knowledge
of
what
is
good
for
him
or
evil
,
what
values
his
life
depends
on
,
what
course
of
action
it
requires
.
Are
you
prattling
about
an
instinct
of
self
preservation
?
An
instinct
of
self
-
preservation
is
precisely
what
man
does
not
possess
.
An
‘
instinct
’
is
an
unerring
and
automatic
form
of
knowledge
.
A
desire
is
not
an
instinct
.
A
desire
to
live
does
not
give
you
the
knowledge
required
for
living
.
And
even
man
’
s
desire
to
live
is
not
automatic
:
your
secret
evil
today
is
that
(
hat
is
the
desire
you
do
not
hold
.
Your
fear
of
death
is
not
a
love
for
life
and
will
not
give
you
the
knowledge
needed
to
keep
it
.
Man
must
obtain
his
knowledge
and
choose
his
actions
by
a
process
of
thinking
,
which
nature
will
not
force
him
to
perform
.
Man
has
the
power
to
act
as
his
own
destroyer
—
and
that
is
the
way
he
has
acted
through
most
of
his
history
.
"
A
living
entity
that
regarded
its
means
of
survival
as
evil
,
would
not
survive
.
A
plant
that
struggled
to
mangle
its
roots
,
a
bird
that
fought
to
break
its
wings
would
not
remain
for
long
in
the
existence
they
affronted
.
But
the
history
of
man
has
been
a
struggle
to
deny
and
to
destroy
his
mind
.
"
Man
has
been
called
a
rational
being
,
but
rationality
is
a
matter
of
choice
—
and
the
alternative
his
nature
offers
him
is
:
rational
being
or
suicidal
animal
.
Man
has
to
be
man
—
by
choice
;
he
has
to
hold
his
life
as
a
value
—
by
choice
;
he
has
to
learn
to
sustain
it
—
by
choice
;
he
has
to
discover
the
values
it
requires
and
practice
his
virtues
—
by
choice
.
"
A
code
of
values
accepted
by
choice
is
a
code
of
morality
.
"
Whoever
you
are
,
you
who
are
hearing
me
now
,
I
am
speaking
to
whatever
living
remnant
is
left
uncorrupted
within
you
,
to
the
remnant
of
the
human
,
to
your
mind
,
and
I
say
:
There
is
a
morality
of
reason
,
a
morality
proper
to
man
,
and
Man
’
s
Life
is
its
standard
of
value
.
"
All
that
which
is
proper
to
the
life
of
a
rational
being
is
the
good
;
all
that
which
destroys
it
is
the
evil
.
"
Man
’
s
life
,
as
required
by
his
nature
,
is
not
the
life
of
a
mindless
brute
,
of
a
looting
thug
or
a
mooching
mystic
,
but
the
life
of
a
thinking
being
—
not
life
by
means
of
force
or
fraud
,
but
life
by
means
of
achievement
—
not
survival
at
any
price
,
since
there
’
s
only
one
price
that
pays
for
man
’
s
survivaclass
=

underline
"
reason
.
"
Man
’
s
life
is
the
standard
of
morality
,
but
your
own
life
is
its
purpose
.
If
existence
on
earth
is
your
goal
,
you
must
choose
your
actions
and
values
by
the
standard
of
that
which
is
proper
to
man
—
for
the
purpose
of
preserving
,
fulfilling
and
enjoying
the
irreplaceable
value
which
is
your
life
.
"
Since
life
requires
a
specific
course
of
action
,
any
other
course
will
destroy
it
.
