What seems to me – if you will allow me to put it this way – what appears to me to be the danger in your position, in which, God knows, I cannot ignore the undercurrent of a deep despair, is this: I fear that you sometimes surrender yourself to this identification with the aggressor out of a kind of – yes, forgive me – metaphysical despair. That is to say, you theoretically identify yourself with the very power that you yourself, like all of us, fear; but in doing so you also side with a whole series of things, which I think – and which you would probably also think – are nevertheless tied to the disaster in a profound way.
