Dabei wissen wir doch:
Auch der Hass gegen die Niedrigkeit

Tolstoy said, 'The antagonism between life and conscience may be removed either by a change of life or by a change of conscience.' Many of us have elected to adjust our consciences rather than our lives. Our powers of rationalization are unlimited.
