Summary/Abstract: …Nevertheless, together with the very first pronounced word, one human being declared war on the other and his behaviour in the course of thousands of years changed only in that he prefers to eat with a fork and a knife and to use toilets with running water. Is he that narrowminded? Is he to such an extent not the master of his deeds, of his destiny, of his own thoughts? Why should I then believe in the free will or in the alteration of the unavoidabilities? There must be something after all that also depends from us. If this were not the case, any sense of morality, of the fine mechanics of human coexistence, any sense at all would indeed be lost. And I am incapable of getting used to the thought that in the final consequence it is the human being after all who tunes this extraordinariely fine instrument. Instinctively and consciously. Thus, he can never in his life jump out of the shadow of his responsability. Because responsability is his own shadow. Whether he believes in the free will or not.
