People below your level cannot give their loyalty to you . So also, they cannot betray you, though great harm can issue out of them when you do not protect your interests. Your cattle destroying your crop is not betrayal but instinct in expression . Man is not so much eager to understand as to maintain his social position or psychological stance . An index for progress is what was indispensable yesterday must become unbearable or intolerable today .
Marriage is an instrument of progress in that sense .
Marriage becomes an instrument of progress not so much because it is socially indissoluble but because it is so psychologically . Marriage is the typical psychological institution that symbolises man seeking irresistibly what he cannot live with . This is so because marriage is one point where he finds his aptitude for progress presents to him as irreconcilable opposites . To know all his urges and their disgusting opposites and also their point of meeting in his personality is the essential knowledge at the vital level . To see the right of another is to be broad-minded, but it cannot help exceed the mind.
