Sie ist unmoralisch, weil sie auf die Demütigung des Gegners aus ist, statt sich um sein Verständnis zu bemühen, weil sie sich von Haß statt von der Liebe nährt. Sie Zerstört die Gemeinschaft und macht Brüderlichkeit unmöglich. Sie läßt die Gesellschaft in einem Monolog, statt sie zu einem Dialog zu führen.
