Christian. Only man has from the
hand of Governance the toughness to be able to endure the dialectical.
Having to endure the dialectical is the most intense agony there is. A
child, the little rascal, is completely safeguarded against it; he can
never even get close enough to lose his mind over it, even if you were
to pour as much of it into him as you can. A woman can come so close
that she collapses under it, or her mind, in order to get her out of
this, slips away - that is, she loses her mind.
To have to endure the dialectical is the most intense agony possible. It
is also easy to see that far more intense than, for example, becoming
unhappy, is the suffering of becoming unhappy and in addition having to
take this as one's very happiness - and in every respect. Thus anyone
who comprehends this (if there is such a person), when he thinks of the
figure of speech, a dialectical redoubling, and imagines a woman in such
a situation, will (just as when one sees the instruments of torture for
the martyrs, he involuntarily hears, as it were, a martyr's shriek)
