...The average individual has a very simple code: he wants to do exactly as he pleases...
...Any effort to prevent this is merely to frustrate him...
...And when you try to tell him that he should change his ways...
...he will look at you a little hopelessly...
...Even if he wanted to, he is perfectly aware in himself that he has not the strength to do it...
...that no matter what happens...
...he will ultimately fall back into doing the things that he wants to do...
...because that is where his libido is...
...That is where all his energy is...
...His energy follows his desires, and his convictions are at best only partly energized...
