Excerpt from As a Matter of Course These various stones in the way do more towards keeping a nervous system in a chronic state of irritation than is imagined. They are what might perhaps be called the outside ele ments of life. These once normally faced, cease to exist as impediments, dwindle away, and finally disappear altogether. Thus we are enabled to get nearer the kernel, and have a growing realization of life itself. Civilization may give a man new freedom, a freedom beyond any power of description or conception, except to those who achieve it, or it may so bind him body and soul that in moments when he recognizes his nervous contractions he would willingly sell his hope of immortality to be a wild horse or tiger for the rest of his days. These stones in the way are the result of a perversion of civilization, and the cause Of much contraction and unnecessary suffering.
