It would be convenient to be able to use contempt like a weapon: one would try to do so often. A child, a young man esteemed by his entourage, chooses not to confront an unfamiliar judgment; he shuts himself up in his sphere and in order not to run any risk disarms in advance the opinion of the rest of the world; he walks in life with a sure step: whoever condemns him condemns himself. But in so doing he renounces his liberty. To be free is to throw oneself into the world without calculation, without stake; it’s to define oneself as completely staked … whereas the overly prudent man must take care not to found a project other than that which valorizes those who valorize him. (107)
