He is dominated solely by the love-complex. This alone deter- mines the resonance of his thoughts and feelings. The attraction to the chosen object has attracted all the other affects to it, has placed all the impulses at the service of one overvalued idea. He loves life but only if he be together with his beloved ; he is jealous, but only with reference to the love-object ; he is interested only in such matters as are in some way related to that object. The fool who is being dominated by an ov...ervalued idea acts exactly in the same way. The lunatic who imagines himself the king of the world, and in whom a childhood wish had over- poweringly established itself as a fact in his consciousness, has interest only for such things as find access to this wish ; the victim of ideas of persecution discovers in the news items of the daily papers the important communication that his enemies are laying traps for him ; the un- fortunate love-sick youth who imagines that Princess X wants to give him her hand in marriage 156 OVERVALUED IDEAS sees in all sorts of advertisements of love-hungry ladies secret communications from his princess.
