"Look at Christ, my dear friend: His life was divine through and through, full of self-denial, and He did everything for mankind, finding His satisfaction and His delight in the dissolution of His material being"
- Mikhail Bakunin
About this Quote
In this quote, Mikhail Bakunin encourages us to take a look at the life of Christ as an example of real divinity. He explains Christ's life as one filled with selflessness and sacrifice, where He constantly put the requirements of others before His own. Bakunin highlights that Christ's satisfaction and pleasure came not from product belongings or worldly desires, but from the act of offering and serving others. This serves as a reminder to us to strive for a life of altruism and to discover satisfaction in assisting and uplifting those around us, instead of seeking individual gain.
"Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man's own advantage"
