The End
Natsume Soseki: A lecture to the students at Gakushuin University
"More simply stated, individualism is a philosophy that replaces cliquism with values based on personal judgment of right and wrong. An individualist is not forever running with the group, forming cliques that thrash around blindly in the interests of power and money. That is why there lurks beneath the surface of this philosophy a loneliness unknown to others. As soon as we deny our little groups, then I simply go my way and let the other man go his, unhindered. Sometimes, in some instances, we cannot avoid becoming scattered. That is what is lonely.”
