It is one and the same in all beings. Man is only an individual in appearance, in being only the expression of the general will of the world. One human being is not in truth separate from the other. What the latter suffers, the latter must also regard as his own suffering, he must suffer with it. Compassion is the expression of the fact that no one has a particular suffering, but that everyone feels the general suffering. Compassion is the basis of morality. It destroys egoism, which only seeks to alleviate one's own suffering. Compassion causes people to act in a way that is aimed at eliminating the suffering of others. Morality is not based on the principles of reason, but on compassion, i.e. on a feeling. Schopenhauer rejects all rational morality. Its principles are abstractions that only lead to moral, non-egoistic action through connection with a real driving force: compassion.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"6.

Das Mitleid ist der Ausdruck dafür, daß niemand ein besonderes Leiden hat, sondern jeder das allgemeine Leid empfindet. Das Mitleid ist die Grundlage der Moral. Es vernichtet den Egoismus, der nur darauf ausgeht, das eigene Leiden zu mildern. Das Mitleid bewirkt eine Handlungsweise des Menschen, die auf Beseitigung fremden Leidens geht. Nicht auf Grundsätze, die die Vernunft sich gibt, baut sich die Moral auf, sondern auf das Mitleid, also auf ein Gefühl. Alle Vernunftmoral verwirft Schopenhauer. Ihre Grundsätze sind Abstraktionen, die zum moralischen, unegoistischen Handeln nur durch Verbindung mit einer realen Triebkraft führen: mit dem Mitleid.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":152,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/33/06_arthur_schopenhauer/p024"}],"english":["GA 33/06_arthur_schopenhauer/p024"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":152,"en_words":157,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.08,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":10419,"original_word_count":9688,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":null,"publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Articles/GA033/English/SOL2024/06_Arthur_Schopenhauer.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
