An insatiable appetite for glory leads to sacrifice and death, but innate instinct leads to self-preservation and life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Glory, built on selfish principles, is shame and guilt.
Loyalty and devotion lead to bravery. Bravery leads to the spirit of self-sacrifice. The spirit of self-sacrifice creates trust in the power of love.
If we constantly give God the glory, then we don't have any glory to keep for ourselves.
I have an instinct for survival, for self-preservation.
The instinct of self-preservation in human society, acting almost subconsciously, as do all drives in the human mind, is rebelling against the constantly refined methods of annihilation and against the destruction of humanity.
Self-development is a higher duty than self-sacrifice.
To desire and expect nothing for oneself and to have profound sympathy for others is genuine holiness.
Glory is a heavy burden, a murdering poison, and to bear it is an art. And to have that art is rare.
The feudal concept of self-preservation is poisoned at the core by the virulent assumption of master and man, of potentate and slave, of external and internal suppression of the life urge of the only one - of its faith in human sacrifice as a means of salvation.
It is the soul's duty to be loyal to its own desires. It must abandon itself to its master passion.
