The great Western Life-feeling is the necessity of being ones self, of preserving that within one which
cannot be compromised, which is synonymous with Soul, Destiny, Honor, Race.

The distorter’s idea of
“happy-end” is opportunistic, weak, degenerate, and revolting to the Western honor-feeling. The empty,
smiling, face, the uniform mind, the senseless chasing after noise, movement, and sensation, the obsession
with moneymaking and money-spending,

the rejection of all spiritual standards of attainment— all this
merely reflects the basic interpretation of Life as a seeking for a happy-end. For happiness one will
compromise anything, give anything, sell anything.

Happiness becomes synonymous with pursuit of
economic and sexual motives. It absolutely excludes any profitless struggle against odds, merely in order
to be one’s self.

Understanding and respect for the tragedy of Life, the magic of Life, the power of the
Idea, are precluded by the happy-end feeling.

Any idea of this kind is quite impossible for Europeans in the 20th century, even if they had not seen the
horrible catastrophe of the Second World War, in which Europe succumbed to the double-invasion of
barbarians and distorters.

No great artist, no religionist, no deep thinker, has ever deluded himself that
Life has the meaning of “happy-end.” In miserable and crushing times, the Western man trains himself
rather to bear whatever blows Fate may have in store for him.

He does not talk of either happiness or
unhappiness, and he does not try to avoid facts by looking away from them. Looking away is no solution,
but only a postponement of a later reckoning.

Happy-end has a purely negative significance. It is a denial
of Life, an escape from Life. It is thus a deception, and an untruth.
