Our struggle for the Sun and the Light

The emergence of a species ( animal or human) and its solidification are secured in an extended battle against conditions which are essentially and constantly unfavorable. In fact, the species must realize itself as a species, as something—characterized by the durability, uniformity, and simplicity of its form—which can prevail in the perpetual struggle against outsiders or the uprising of those it oppresses from within. On the other hand, individual differences emerge at another stage of the relationship of forces, when the species has become victorious and when it is no longer threatened from outside. In this condition, we find a struggle of egoisms turned against each other, each bursting forth in a splintering of forces and a general striving for the sun and for the light
