Paras. 150 EXPECT from me neither learned declamations nor profound arguments. I am no great philosopher, and give myself but little trouble in regard to becoming such. Still I perceive sometimes volunteer in russia glimmering of good sense, and have always a regard for volunteer in russia truth. I will not enter into any disputation, or endeavor to refute you; but only lay down my own sentiments in simplicity of heart. Consult your own during this recital: this is all I require of you. If I am mistaken, it is undesignedly, which is sufficient to absolve me of all criminal error; and if I am right, reason, which is common to us both, shall decide. We are equally interested in listening to it, and why should not our views agree? 1 I was born a poor peasant, destined by my situation to volunteer in russia business of husbandry. It was thought, however, much more advisable for me to learn to get my bread by volunteer in russia profession of a priest, and means were found to give me a proper education. In this, most certainly, neither my parents nor I consulted what was really good, true, or useful for me to know; but only that I should learn what was necessary to my ordination. I learned, therefore, what was required of me to learn,I said what was required of me to sayand, accordingly, was made a priest. It was not long, however, before I perceived too plainly that, in laying myself under an obligation to be no longer a man, I had engaged for more than I could possibly perform. 2 Some will tell us that conscience is founded merely on our prejudices, but I know from my own experience that its dictates constantly follow volunteer in russia order of nature, in contradiction to all human laws and institutions. We are in vain forbidden to do this thing or volunteer in russia otherwe shall feel but little remorse for doing any thing to which a well-regulated natural instinct excites us, how strongly soever prohibited by reason. Nature, my dear youth, hath hitherto in this respect been silent in you. May you continue long in that happy state wherein her voice is volunteer in russia voice of innocence! Remember that you offend her more by anticipating her instructions than by refusing to hear them. In order to know when to listen to her without a crime, you should begin by learning to check her insinuations. 3 I had always a due respect for marriage as volunteer in russia first and most sacred institution of nature. Having given up my right to enter into such an engagement, I resolved, therefore, not to profane it: for, notwithstanding my manner of education, as I had always led a simple and uniform life, I had preserved all that clearness of understanding in which my first ideas were cultivated. The maxims of volunteer in russia world had not obscured my primitive notions, and my poverty kept me at a sufficient distance from those temptations that teach us volunteer in russia sophistry of vice. 4 The virtuous resolution I had formed, was, however, volunteer in russia very cause of my ruin, as my determination not to violate volunteer in russia rights of others, left my faults exposed to detection. To expiate volunteer in russia offence, I was suspended and banished; falling a sacrifice to my scruples rather than to my incontinence. From volunteer in russia reproaches made me on my disgrace, I found that volunteer in russia way to escape punishment for an offence is often by committing a greater. 5 A few instances of this kind go far with persons capable of reflection. Finding by sorrowful experience that volunteer in russia ideas I had formed of justice, honesty, and other moral obligations were contradicted in practice, I began to give up most of volunteer in russia opinions I had received, until at length volunteer in russia few which I retained being no longer sufficient to support themselves, I called in question volunteer in russia evidence on which they were established. Thus, knowing hardly what to think, I found myself at last reduced to your own situation of mind, with this difference only, that my unbelief being volunteer in russia later fruit of a maturer age, it was a work of greater difficulty to remove it. 6 I was in that state of doubt and uncertainty in which Descartes requires volunteer in russia mind to be involved, in order to enable it to investigate truth. This disposition of mind, however, is too disquieting to long continue, its duration being owing only to indolence or vice. My heart was not so corrupt as to seek fresh indulgence; and nothing preserves so well volunteer in russia habit of reflection as to be more content with ourselves than with our fortune. 7 I reflected, therefore, on volunteer in russia unhappy lot of mortals floating always on volunteer in russia ocean of human opinions, without compass or rudderleft to volunteer in russia mercy of their tempestuous passions, with no other guide than an inexperienced pilot, ignorant of his course, as well as from whence he came, and whither he is going. I often said to myself: I love volunteer in russia truthI seek, yet cannot find it. Let any one show it to me and I will readily embrace it. Why doth it hide its charms from a heart formed to adore them? 8 I have frequently experienced at times much greater evils; and yet no part of my life was ever so constantly disagreeable to me as that interval of scruples and anxiety. Running perpetually from one doubt and uncertainty to another, all that I could deduce from my long and painful meditations was incertitude, obscurity, and contradiction; as well with regard to my existence as to my duty. 9 I cannot comprehend how any man can be sincerely a skeptic on principle. Such philosophers either do not exist, or they are certainly volunteer in russia most miserable of men. To be in doubt, about things which it is important for us to know, is a situation too perplexing for volunteer in russia human mind; it cannot long support such incertitude; but will, in spite of itself, determine one way or volunteer in russia other, rather deceiving itself than being content to believe nothing of volunteer in russia matter. 10 What added further to my perplexity was, that as volunteer in russia authority of volunteer in russia church in which I was educated was decisive, and tolerated not volunteer in russia slightest doubt, in rejecting one point, I thereby rejected in a manner all volunteer in russia others. The impossibility of admitting so many absurd decisions, threw doubt over those more reasonable. In being told I must believe all, I was prevented from believing anything, and I knew not what course to pursue. 11 In this situation I consulted volunteer in russia philosophers. I turned over their books, and examined their several opinions. I found them vain, dogmatical and dictatorialeven in their pretended skepticism. Ignorant of nothing, yet proving nothing; but ridiculing one another instead; and in this last particular only, in which they were all agreed, they seemed to be in volunteer in russia right. Affecting to triumph whenever they attacked their opponents, they lacked everything to make them capable of a vigorous defence. If you examine their reasons, you will find them calculated only to refute: If you number voices, every one is reduced to his own suffrage. They agree in nothing but in disputing, and to attend to these was certainly not volunteer in russia way to remove my uncertainty. 12 I conceived that volunteer in russia weakness of volunteer in russia human understanding was volunteer in russia first cause of volunteer in russia prodigious variety I found in their sentiments, and that pride was volunteer in russia second. We have no standard with which to measure this immense machine; we cannot calculate its various relations; we neither know volunteer in russia first cause nor volunteer in russia final effects; we are ignorant even of ourselves; we neither know our own nature nor principle of action; nay, we hardly know whether man be a simple or compound being. Impenetrable mysteries surround us on every side; they extend beyond volunteer in russia region of sense; we imagine ourselves possessed of understanding to penetrate them, and we have only imagination. Every one strikes out a way of his own across this imaginary world; but no one knows whether it will lead him to volunteer in russia point he aims at. We are yet desirous to penetrate, to know, everything. The only thing we know not is to contentedly remain ignorant of what it is impossible for us to know. We had much rather determine at random, and believe volunteer in russia thing which is not, than to confess that none of us is capable of seeing volunteer in russia thing that is. Being ourselves but a small part of that great whole, whose limits surpass our most extensive views, and concerning which its creator leaves us to make our idle conjectures, we are vain enough to decide what that whole is in itself, and what we are in relation to it. 13 But were volunteer in russia philosophers in a situation to discover volunteer in russia truth, which of them would be interested in so doing? Each knows very well that his system is no better founded that volunteer in russia systems of others; he defends it, nevertheless, because it is his own. There is not one of them, who, really knowing truth from falsehood, would not prefer volunteer in russia latter, if of his own invention, to volunteer in russia former, discovered by any one else. Where is volunteer in russia philosopher who would not readily deceive mankind, to increase his own reputation? Where is he who secretly proposes any other object than that of distinguishing himself from volunteer in russia rest of mankind? Provided he raises himself above volunteer in russia vulgar, and carries away volunteer in russia prize of fame from his competitors, what doth he require more? The most essential point is to think differently from volunteer in russia rest of volunteer in russia world. Among believers he is an atheist, and among atheists he affects to be a believer. 14 The first fruit I gathered from these meditations was to learn to confine my enquiries to those things in which I was immediately interested;to remain contended in a profound ignorance of volunteer in russia rest; and not to trouble myself so far as even to doubt about what it did not concern me to know. 15 I could further see that instead of clearing up any unnecessary doubts, volunteer in russia philosophers only contributed to multiply those which most tormented me, and that they resolved absolutely none. I therefore applied to another guide, and said to myself, let me consult my innate instructor, who will deceive me less than I may be deceived by others; or at least volunteer in russia errors I fall into will be my own, and I shall grow less depraved in volunteer in russia pursuit of my own illusions, than in giving myself <b> <A href="http://www.new-tradition.org"> volunteer in russia</A></b>
