Canonical reference b0369

German

358. Mitleid fordern als Zeichen der Anmaassung. - Es giebt Menschen, welche, wenn sie in Zorn gerathen und die Anderen beleidigen, dabei erstens verlangen, dass man ihnen Nichts übel nehme und zweitens, dass man mit ihnen Mitleid habe, weil sie so heftigen Paroxysmen unterworfen sind. So weit geht die menschliche Anmaassung.

358. Demanding compassion as a sign of presumptuousness. There are people who, when they fly into a rage and offend others, demand, first, that nothing be held against them and, second, that they be pitied because they are subject to such violent paroxysms. So far does human presumptuousness go.

358. Exiger de la compassion comme signe de présomption. Il est des hommes qui, lorsqu’ils entrent en colère et offensent les autres, exigent premièrement qu’on ne leur en veuille en rien et deuxièmement qu’on ait compassion d’eux parce qu’ils sont sujets à de si violents paroxysmes. La présomption humaine va jusque-là.
