605. Das Gefährliche an freien Meinungen. - Das leichte Befassen mit freien Meinungen giebt einen Reiz, wie eine Art Jucken; giebt man ihm mehr nach, so fängt man an, die Stellen zu reiben; bis zuletzt eine offene schmerzende Wunde entsteht, das heisst: bis die freie Meinung uns in unserer Lebensstellung, unsern menschlichen Beziehungen zu stören, zu quälen beginnt.

605. What Is Dangerous About Free Opinions. Lightly occupying oneself with free opinions produces a stimulus, like a kind of itching. If one yields to it further, one begins to rub the places until at last an open, painful wound develops, that is, until the free opinion begins to disturb and torment us in our position in life and our human relationships.

605. Ce qu’il y a de dangereux dans les opinions libres. S’occuper légèrement d’opinions libres procure une irritation, comme une sorte de démangeaison ; si l’on y cède davantage, on commence à frotter les endroits irrités, jusqu’à ce qu’apparaisse finalement une plaie ouverte et douloureuse, c’est-à-dire jusqu’à ce que l’opinion libre commence à nous gêner et à nous tourmenter dans notre position sociale et nos relations humaines.
