You must control and direct your emotions not abolish them. Besides, abolition would be antimissile task. Emotions are like a river. Their power can be dammed up and released under control and direction, but is cannot be held forever in check. Sooner or later the dam will burst, unleashing catastrophic destruction.
Your negative emotions can also be controlled and directed. PMA and self-discipline can remove their harmful effects and make them serve constructive purposes. Sometimes fear and anger will inspire intense action. But you must always submit your negative emotions--and you positive ones--to the examination of your reason before releasing them. Emotion without reason is a dreadful enemy.
What faculty provides the crucial balance between emotions and reason? It is your willpower, or ego, a subject which will be explored in more detail below. Self-discipline will teach you to throw your willpower behind either reason or emotion and amplify the intensity of their expression.
Both your heart and your mind need a master, and they can find the master in your ego. However, your ego will fill their role only if you use self-discipline. In the absence of self-discipline, your mind and heart will fight their battles as they please. In this situation the person within whose mind the fight is carried out often gets badly hurt.
譯文:你必需控制并導(dǎo)引你的心情而非摧毀它,況且摧毀心情是一件不可能的事情。心情就像河流一樣,你能夠筑一道堤防把它擋起來,并在控制和導(dǎo)引之下排放它,但卻不能永遠(yuǎn)抑止它,否則那道堤防遲早會(huì)解體,并形成大災(zāi)難。
你的消極心態(tài)同樣也可被控制和導(dǎo)引,積極心態(tài)和自律可去除其中有害的局部,而使這些消極心態(tài)能為目的奉獻(xiàn)力氣。有的時(shí)分恐懼和生氣會(huì)激起出更徹底的行動(dòng),但是在你釋放消極心情(以及積極心情)之前務(wù)必要讓你的理性為它們做一番檢驗(yàn),缺乏理性的心情必然是一位可怕的敵人。
是什么力氣使得心情和理性之間可以到達(dá)均衡呢?是意志力或自尊心(我將在以下做更細(xì)致的闡明)。自律會(huì)教誨你的意志力作為理性和心情的后臺(tái),并強(qiáng)化二者的表現(xiàn)強(qiáng)度。
你的感情和明智都需求一位主宰,而在你的自尊心里就可發(fā)現(xiàn)這個(gè)主宰,但是只要你在發(fā)揮你的自律肉體時(shí),自尊心才會(huì)扮演好這個(gè)角色,假如沒有了自律,你的明智和感情便會(huì)為所欲為地停止戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng),戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)結(jié)果當(dāng)然是你會(huì)遭到嚴(yán)重的傷害。
