Nothing gives a stronger suggestion than a deep impression of success or failure, of weakness or strength, of good or ill luck, of sorrow or joy; and it is the greatest pity when a person is deeply impressed by his unworthiness. When this impression continues, where does it lead him? It leads him to a complete unworthiness, and naturally he will have to bear with himself; and in that way the side of his nature which should oppose it becomes blunted, and this results in hopelessness.
