My Individualism and the Philosophical Foundations of Litera. Natsume Soseki
more ease than poor people. Those who have this strength may seem to be remarkable people. In fact, they are extremely dangerous. I have already told you that, in the general context of studies, literature, “liberal arts” and leisure, individuality can develop only when our Ego has fulfilled itself. However, to be frank, the application of this principle can be effected in a wider sense and is not limited to the arts and sciences.
I know two brothers: the younger is happy to stay in the house and read books, while the elder is a fanatical angler. The timorous behavior of the younger brother, who does nothing but shut himself up in the house, disgusts the elder brother profoundly. Finally, believing that his brother has been steeped in misanthropy because he does not want to trouble the fish, the elder drags the younger off on a fishing trip. The sport deeply displeases the younger brother and he finds it intolerable. However, as the elder brother pushes him to accompany him to the fish pond and to carry the fishing rods and basket, he gives way, hoping that he will not catch anything. However, he spends the day pulling roach out of the water against his will and returns home completely disgusted.
