| Further investigation will show that, apart from these reasons, you would really much rather do the selfish | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |

| be reasons for the delay. Some of those reasons may be in the self, so that the | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |

| a halfway intellectually mature person will find adequate reasons to hide this emotional reaction and subjectivity. That | 73 COMPULSION TO RECREATE AND OVERCOME CHILDHOOD HURTS |
