To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The forceof old temptations vanishes, and what a moment ago was impossible is nownot only possible, but easy, because of their inhibition. This has beenwell called the 'expulsive power of the higher emotion. ' It is easy to apply this notion of inhibition to the case of ourideational processes. I am lying in bed, for example, and think it istime to get up; but alongside of this thought there is present to mymind a realization of the extreme coldness of the morning and thepleasantness of the war...m bed. In such a situation the motor consequencesof the first idea are blocked; and I may remain for half an hour or morewith the two ideas oscillating before me in a kind of deadlock, which iswhat we call the state of hesitation or deliberation. In a case likethis the deliberation can be resolved and the decision reached in eitherof two ways:-- (1) I may forget for a moment the thermometric conditions, and then theidea of getting up will immediately discharge into act: I shall suddenlyfind that I have got up--or (2) Still mindful of the freezing temperature, the thought of the dutyof rising may become so pungent that it determines action in spite ofinhibition.
