As for the unfortunate people who can command everything they want,who can gratify every caprice and lay their hands on almost every object ofdesire----for them a new pleasure, a new excitement is only an additionalsatiation. In vain they rush frantically round from place to place, trying toescape from avenging boredom by mere clatter and motion. For them discipline inone form or another is the most hopeful path.
It may also be said that rational, industrious, useful human beingsare divided into two classes: first, those whose work is work and whosepleasure is pleasure; and secondly, those whose work and pleasure are one. Ofthese the former are the majority. They have their compensations. The longhours in the office or the factory bring with them as their reward, not onlythe means of sustenance, but a keen appetite for pleasure even in its simplestand most modest forms. But Fortunes favored children belong to the secondclass.Their life is a natural harmony. For them the working hours are neverlong enough. Each day is a holiday, and ordinary holidays, when they come, aregrudged as enforced interruptions in an absorbing vocation. Yet to bothclasses, the need of an alternative outlook, of a change of atmosphere, of adiversion of effort, is essential. Indeed, it may well be that those whose workis their pleasure are those who most need the means of banishing it atintervals from their minds.
一位天才的美国心理学家曾经说过:烦恼是感情的发作,此时脑子纠缠住了某种东西又不肯松手。在这种情况下,你和头脑争吵让它松手是无济于事的。这种意志越是强烈,这种尝试越是徒劳。你只能缓和而巧妙地让另一种东西进入痉挛僵持的头脑中。如果选得合适,而且的确受到别的领域的情趣的启迪,那么渐渐地,往往也是很顺利地,原先不适当的紧张就会松弛下来,恢复和修整的过程就会开始。
