You will all be relieved to know that Hegel redeemed himself, sort of, by commenting later on:
"Development, in which in nature is a quiet unfolding, is in Spirit a hard, infinite struggle against itself. What Spirit wants is to attain its own concept. But it hides from itself and is proud and full of enjoyment in this alienation from itself."
I had more to say, but I'm illegally using my boss's computer, so I have to leave.
