And then you need fear no perversion.
What we have done, in our era, is, first, we have tried as far as possible to suppress or subordinate the two sensual centers.

We have so unduly insisted on and exaggerated the upper spiritual or selfless mode--the living in the other person and through the other person--that we have caused already a dangerous over-balance in the natural psyche.
To correct this we go one worse, and try to rule ourselves more and more by the old ideas of sympathy and benevolence.

We think that love and benevolence will cure anything.

Whereas love and benevolence are our poison, poison to the giver, and still more poison to the receiver.

Poison only because there is practically _no_ spontaneous love left in the world.
