You see, my dear friends, what starts great impulses of will really comes from various sources which are to be taken seriously. Such an impulse as the one I have referred to, for example, is indeed to be taken in a certain more serious sense. We must be able to give it its right value. Naturally in this connection we need not take those nice little attacks seriously that are constantly rising up from what is sub-earthly in our Society, attacks that look rather bad simply because there is so frequently a noticeable tendency for people to sympathise greatly with those who seek maliciously to slander what is striven for earnestly in our midst. When the harm is actually done gradually people decide to open their eyes; up to now several people have been made much of who afterwards caused harm.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture III","site_heading":"Soul Boundaries and Future Human Evolution","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Solch ein Angriff wie der, von dem ich eben gesprochen habe, er ist schon in gewissem Sinne ernster zu nehmen. Man muß ihn in der richtigen Weise taxieren können. Nicht ernst zu nehmen nach dieser Richtung hin sind ja natürlich jene schönen Angriffe, welche aus dem Unterirdischen unserer Gesellschaft selber immer wiederum auftauchen, und die ja zum Teil bloß deshalb ein böses Ansehen haben, weil immer wieder und wiederum die Tendenz bemerkbar ist, daß man gerade die größte, liebevollste Teilnahme gegenüber jenen Leuten hat, welche dasjenige, was ernst erstrebt wird in unseren Reihen, verlästern, zu verunglimpfen suchen und dergleichen.
