The psychic life means movement and direction with one goal. Because the individual is not isolated, that goal must be designed by a creative force that springs from the urge to overcome the social problems that bar movement. The important difference is that animals have no awareness of their own mortality. Humans set goals and attempt to reach them knowing that their time is limited.

Man is free to realize his possibilities only when, with the help of his intellect and his creative powers, he can turn into a positive force whatever stands in his way, be it physical, psychic, or social. It takes courage, and in all cases defiance, to change an originally formulated lifestyle.
