Hegel on the specifically Jewish experience of "the universal fatum of the Roman world", "the fate that crushed down the gods and all genial life in its hard service"

"Here, then, misery is not the stupid immersion in a blind fate, but a boundless energy of longing."

"“Das Elend ist also hier nicht Stumpfheit in einem blinden Fatum, sondern unendliche Energie der Sehnsucht.”
