Then what he thinks takes place in the sense of the facts. I am speaking today to adults – it would be going too far for children – but let me just say this: if someone wants to develop real thinking that is connected to the outside world, so that, as it were, their thinking corresponds to what is going on outside, then they must be careful not to do such exercises in such a way that one event is placed next to the other, but they must take care to develop a feeling for the weight of an event. This is something that is connected with the practical training of thinking, but which very few people today know. Anyone who observes knows how little people have a feeling for the fact that it makes a difference whether one thing is said by one person or another. Both can express the same thing. But the way one presents himself to us gives his statements a different weight than the way the other presents himself to us. For the weight of what we acquire, we must, above all, acquire a certain feeling.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"49.

Dann verläuft, was er denkt, im Sinne der Tatsachen. Ich spreche heute für Erwachsene — für Kinder würde es zu weit führen —, nur das sei noch gesagt: Wenn jemand ein wirkliches, an die Außenwelt gebundenes Denken entwickeln will, dass sozusagen das Denken entspricht dem, was draußen vorgeht, so muss er besorgt sein, solche Übungen nicht bloß so zu machen, dass ein Ereignis neben das andere gestellt wird, sondern er muss beachten, ein Gefühl zu erhalten für das Gewicht eines Ereignisses. Das ist etwas, was zusammenhängt mit der praktischen Ausbildung des Denkens, was aber die wenigsten Menschen heute kennen. Wer beobachtet, weiß, wie wenig die Menschen ein Gefühl dafür haben, dass es einen Unterschied macht, ob der eine eine Sache sagt oder der andere. Dasselbe können die beiden ausdrücken. Durch das aber, als was der eine sich uns darstellt, haben seine Aussagen ein anderes Gewicht als durch das, als was der andere sich uns darstellt.
