Ostensibly...

All the abjections and all the trickery, of which we have not been afraid to believe others capable, and of which, for a lifetime, we are scandalized, should we not take our part?

There is something irritating about this process. We realize, we are even intimately convinced that, if all men engaged in this examination of conscience, life would have chances of becoming a little more bearable, which does not prevent us from feeling (all right) a violent aversion to submitting to it oneself. If the others did, what a relief! but to undertake it personally, the idea alone is already unbearable. The existence of an enemy, a scapegoat in charge of all capital sins, what an undeniable relief for conscience! what satisfaction it is to openly pillory the troublemaker; one can henceforth proclaim loudly who is responsible, which underlines the external origin of the disaster, and protects the personal attitude from all suspicion. (...) There (is) a lot to say on the joint ownership of Good and Evil and, in a more general way, on the close relations which weld in a couple two antithetical tendencies and which make that the "extremes meet. ".
