But you can't upset me now as you used to, I'm not under your moralising thumb anymore, and I'd even go so far as to say this: What would be the result, from a medical standpoint, of a high-minded moral programming of young people, the collision between this morality, and the realities of life, which are always stronger, always, believe me -- now then, what would be the result of such a conflict? Complexes, at best.
