What reading level is The Foundations of Personality book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
War itself is the most impatient and conse- quently most socially destructive method of the methods of the treatment of evil.
Wliile patience is a virtue, it may also be a vice. One may bear wrongs too patiently or defer satisfaction too COURAGE, RESIGNATION AND PATIENCE 205 long. One meets every day men and women who help injustice and iniquity by their patience. We are too patient, at least with the wrongs of others ; perhaps we really do not feel this intensely or for any length of time. In ...fact, the difflculty with most of the preach- ing of life is its essential insincerity, for it counsels patience for that which it feels but little. We bear the troubles of others, on the whole, very well. Neverthe- less, there are Griseldas everywhere whom one would respect far more if they rebelled against their tyrants and taskmasters. Organized wrong and oppression owe their existence mainly to the habitual patience of the oppressed. To be meek and mild and long-suffering in a world containing plenty of egoists and cannibalistic types is to give them supremacy.^ We admire patience only when it is part of a plan of action, not when it is the mark of a passive nature.
