society is not that he rid himself of his selfishness and make himself a gift or a victim to others; what is asked of him is only that he be far-sighted in this selfishness... that he under-stand that protecting himself, and securing comfort and well-being for himself, can come about only through small sacrifices for others. And these sacrifices, or concessions, which he makes of his own free choice, return to him in the end many times multiplied.

The individual who gratifies his narrow selfishness and ignores the community — violating the law of cleanliness and health, or the law of courtesy and public comfort, or the penal code — directs a single offense at society. But in return for it he exposes himself to many offenses, for he encourages others to repay him in kind — indeed he positively drives them to it. And once every man in society says: it is my right to do as I please, and let the others burst if they will — chaos spreads, and it becomes certain to every individual that however energetic he may be, he can never, alone, direct at those around him as many offenses as they, all together, can direct at him. And so selfishness fails utterly, and turns into the very opposite of what it intended and strove for.

The written laws, and the custom-ary laws, which the community lays down and agrees upon to secure its safety and comfort, are in reality nothing other than a guarantee of the individual's safety and comfort. And the more the individuals cooperate in carry-ing out the law, and respect one another, and feel that they are one body, the more surely is the safety and comfort of each one of them, taken singly, guaranteed; and none but madmen and fools would deny this truth. Your making light of the rights of others, your indifference to their comfort, and your disdain for their health — all this breeds in their souls a like feeling, so that they make light of your rights, care nothing for your comfort, and disdain your health; and the loss falls upon you in the end, and you pay dearly for your short-sighted selfishness. The Europeans knew this before we did; they are not less selfish

than we are — indeed they are perhaps keener than we are on preferring themselves. One of the mottoes of some of them runs: every man for himself, and God alone for all. But their selfishness is broad of horizon and far of sight. Hence the care each of them takes for the public

law, and the neighbor's respect for the neighbor's comfort, and the regarding of the community's property — such as the quiet, the street, and all the public places — as if it were private individual property. If one of them troubles the calm of the stillness at night, it is as though he troubled his own
