November 1969]
Thursday 13th
November 1969. 4.30p.m. [continued]
“You
hypocritical little pseudo-saint, you!
You're just as bad as the rest of them, for all your high thoughts
(so-called) and your great ideals!
You're just as ready to be rude to people who are out of fashion, just
as capable of genuinely disliking someone because everyone else genuinely
dislikes him! When it comes to the
crunch, you’re not in the front line, mocking it; you're at the back, egging
them on. That's even worse! Can't you see? All your great thoughts are worse than
useless, unless you actually follow your own principles totally. They
may influence others, when your reality is forgotten; they will never help you,
or those around you -- persecutor or persecuted."
“But I do
try....”
“And you
fail. You fail dismally; and your
failure is accentuated by the fact that you did try, and that you acted as
though you had succeeded. You must
live up to your own image of yourself, or your life will be pointless. Yet you still go on being anti-social towards
individuals in just the same way. What
are you going to do about it?”
“Can I be
sorry?"
