REAL PERSON
BY DR.. HARRY EMERSON FOSDiCK

ego, the central ar, can choose
this and not that mood as repre-
senting the real self; it can iden-
tify itself with confidence rather
than fear, with hopefulness rath-
er than diSheartenment, with
good will rather than rancor.
Many youth finds himself i'll
the throes of difficult crisis,
discouraged by unjust treatment,
beset by sullenness and gloom.
The gist of his struggle is
within himself as his az faces
the fateful alternative.
The Prodigal Son was not one
self, but two-debauchee and
son. With which of these two
selves would he identify him
self? Of which would he say,
This really l?
Everything depended on that
inner process of self-allocation
until, having stood, like the dom
key, hesitant between two hay
stacks, he chose sonship as his
real self.
In dealing with dependency
this power can be turned TO
therapeutic use. We all have
low moods but we do not need
TO identify ourselves with them.
All slaves Of depression have
this in common: They have &C
CURED the habit of identifying
their real selves with their low
moods. Not only do they have
cellars in their emotional hous-
es, as everybody does, but they
live there.
Anyone can observe within
himself the process by which
this result is reached. Whether
for solid or imaginary reasons or
for no ascertainable reason at
all, blue mood comes. We
might, if we would, recognize it
and pass on as though it we're
extraneous TO us, like clouds
that come and go. If we have
been wronged by some, we have
been faithfully loved by others;
if some circumstances are de-
pressing. doubtless others are
encouraging and in any case
surrender to gloom is no solu-
ton of our problem.
A healthy person believes in
the validity Of his high hours
even when he is having a low
one. AS sailor on foggy day
still believes i'm what he saw
when the skies were clear, so a
wholesome mind trusts the val
idity of better hours even wen
depression has closed in. He
identifies himself with his ups,
not his downs.
AS all the water i'm the seven
seas cannot swamp a ship unless
IL gets inside the ship, so all the
dependency we face cannot
swamp our spirits unless we let
it in. While each of us, there
fore, has depressed hours, none
Of us needs TO be a depressed
person.
