Here, again, the rational man will admit that the question is one to which there is no demonstrably
right answer. It is more difficult to deal with the self-esteem of man as man, because we cannot argue out
the matter with some non-human mind. The only way I know of dealing with this general human
conceit is to remind ourselves that man is a brief episode in the life of a small planet in a little corner
of the universe, and that for aught we know, other parts of the cosmos may contain beings as superior
to ourselves as we are to jelly - fish.
Other passions besides self-esteem are common sources of error. Of these perhaps the most important is
fear. Fear sometimes operates directly, by inventing rumours of disaster in war - time, or by imagining
objects of terror, such as ghosts; sometimes it operates indirectly, by creating belief in something
comforting, such as the elixir of life, or heaven for ourselves and hell for our enemies. Fear has many
forms - fear of death, fear of the dark, fear of the unknown, and that vague generalised fear that comes to
those who conceal from themselves their more specific terrors. Until you have admitted your own fears to
yourself, and have guarded yourself by a difficult effort of will against their myth - making power, you
cannot hope to think truly about many matters of great importance, especially those with which
religious beliefs are concerned. Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of
cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom, in the pursuit of truth as in the endeavour after a
worthy manner of life.
