Self-control assumes different forms that correspond to the different forms of impulsive life. Of these four are important, viz. Temperance, Courage, Calmness and Self-respect. u) Temperance or Moderation :— Temper- ance is the habit of resisting temptation to sensuous pleasure. The satisfaction of the impulses gives us pleasure that is most attractive or alluring, and at the same time direct and immediate. So that we are apt, in most instances, to be guided by it in our conduct rather than by ...the rational will. It is therefore necessary that we should always try to resist the temptation to such pleasure whenever it inclines us to act in opposition to the rational will. This does not imply that we should eradicate the impulses. That is not only impossible 122 MQRAL PHILOSOPHY. but also a folly ; for these impulses are the original forces of our nature and He at the root of all true motives to action. Hence their annihilation will mean the anni- hilation of our own nature. What they require is that they should be controlled and satisfied in such a wise as will assist the development of higher life instead of disturbing it, ' Unpretendingness or Modesty is a virtue which is a modification of temperance, or may be re- garded as the inner form of it.
