Or the suffering I've had
Getting myself all gummed up

Sorry for myself because I'm

big price for feeling things
Things like love and ambition
and pride and remorse-
''Wish I was a cow" I say to
myself. "Cows don't feel much of
anything. They have all the luck.
It isn't fair to have to suffer so,
just because you have a heart.
II I hadn't loved-if / hadn't
hoped-life couldn't have hurt me
SO. Feelings are too expensive
it's better to be cow"

A body that enjoyed life as any

SECRETS OF
HEALTH

DEPRESSION is g psyche.
~ analytic term.
The science Of the mind that
seeks the causes Of human be-
havior and motives named by
psychoanalysis, makes use Of the
word repression to describe n not
uncommon method Of action.
There Is not an individual Ev.
Ing who has not had his ups and
downs in life.
Every person has been held
back, disappointed, set back.
II we still advance, despite
these obstacles and handicaps, all
Is well and we develop normally.
Should we, however. become
discouraged to the point Of not
attempting any longer TO over.
come our difficulties, should we
''lie down on the job" Of life, as
It were, then repression Is likely
to set in.
When We regress we return
really to q mode Of behavior and
feeling that we enjoy as children.
We think and act and feel much
like we did as children. We seek
protection and care like children.
In short, we run away from the
conflicts OF life ana seek shelter
In childhood fancies.
l.
be the following:
A. young girl, guarded and pro.
tected at home, falls in love with
q man ana surrounds this love
with the very Quintessence Of
1dealism.
After marriage she finds her
beloved and the marriage state
not. quite as ideal as she had
pictured It. She is disappointed,
she broods over it, she finally
fees ana seeks the shelter Of her
parental roof.
This young woman has re-
crossed. She has given up the
conflict, has run away, has
sought the protection Of her pa
rents.
In a way repression is n cow
ardiY retreat. When We regress
we accept defeat and do not pluck
up sufficient courage to try again.
We often regress without quite
realizing it, We often think and
behave In ways that are distinctly
childish.
It takes a real stout heart to
face the world and to battle against
its stern realities. It really takes
courage not to regress.
When all is said and done, every
individual starts life Handicapped.
When we emerge from the pro.
tecting love Of the home we stand
more or less alone, with the odds
against US. The world is bigger
than we are; more powerful; more
sertled. In one way or another
We must adapt ourselves to its
standards. must harmonic some.
now with Its manners and customs.
such an adjustment means that
we must change. The world does
not overidolize US ana make a fuss
ovAr us as did father and mother.
But it can be done! We can
adjust ourselves,
And after all. repression does
not solve the problem. It only
makes Us UNHAPPY and more timid
than ever.
Don't regress whatever you do!
Keep on fighting.
Others have made the necessary
adjustments, why not your,
