This undermining or destruction of all civilisation and human intercourse is thus entirely a direct consequence of the animal nature still present in people. There is not one single unhappy fate that does not have its root or very first cause in its originator's more or less prevalent animal nature or mentality. To this animal nature belongs every form of thinking and acting that causes hatred, anger, bitterness, persecution, slander, jealousy, envy or covetousness and so on, and any ensuing destructive or murderous actions or attempts on the life and property of one's neighbour. By these actions and the mentality they display the human being reveals that side of his consciousness or psyche which has not yet become "human". Where he has not yet become human he has only his animal mentality and is therefore compelled to act in an "animal" way. He cannot act according to a "human" nature that he does not yet possess. He who gets angry at such a person and hates him reveals himself as just as unfinished a being as the one he is persecuting.
