Tension between our existent and OUT desired selves arises in one of its most dangerous forms from high moral ideals, and nowhere 1t is more likely to be mishandled.
 High moral ideals are among mans nobleSt possessions. but they too gre projected pictures of our selves as We feel we ought to be or strongly want to be, and the disproportion between them and what We actually are can be SC great as to disrupt the life.
 A young man is fascinated by ideals of public service. He reads stories of eminent social servants, pioneers, and missionary heroes until he pictures himself as one of them. Is not that high ideal? Yet he may be no more fitted for the role than baSswood is fitted to make a battleship. It is a hard task to persuade that kind of idealist to accept himself as he actually is, to change his projected picture of himself accordingly, and to achieve this change so as not to keep him from being a real per son but to make him one.
 Innumerable people are the vic tins of misfitted idealism. They are trying to be great or success fui or even good in ways that stem ont from misapprehenSion about what they really are.
 Moral ideals, stiff, rigid. and pro- miscuously applied, can do incalu- able harm. Unselfisf ness and loyal ty are major virtureS, but a daugh- 1 ter under the thralldom of posses Sive mother can SO picture herself as in duty bound to be unselfish and loyal, that, without doing her moth- CT any real good. her life is blight ed and her personality wrecked.
 Ethical ideals in their applica- ton are relative to the native en- downment and actual situation of the individual One man may choose ascetic chasity and Le priest: most of us had better accept ourselves and get married. One man may have a calm, equable temperament that need never be ruffled; another may have to say, as Dr. Stephen Tyng did to one who rebuked him for aSperity ''Young man, I control more temper every 15 minutes than you will in your whole lifetime"
 When one considers how Vari- ant the differing life-patterns are the naturally dominant and the naturally submissive, the perfect right and the rationalizers who never do anything wrong, the ex- libitionistS who display themselves and the shy who camouflage them selves, the contrite blamers of self and the chronic accusers of others the passive. whose ideals are priv acy, calmness, and security, and the active, whose ideals are power, pop ul&rity. and applause-the factual basis for the need of self accept ance is clear.
