The great majority of us are required to live a life of constant duplicity. Your health is bound to be affected if, day after day, you say the opposite of what you feel, if you grovel before what you dislike, and rejoice at what brings you nothing but misfortune. Our nervous system isn't just a fiction, it's part of our physicalbody, and our souls exists in space and is inside us, like the teeth in the mouth. It can't forever be violated with impunity.
