In psychology -> Frithjof Schuon  "Man cannot escape in this world from 'trials and temptations; his soul is therefore inevitably marked by some sort of turmoil, unless it be of an angelic serenity—which occurs in highly religious surroundings—or, on the contrary, unless it be of an unshakable inertia, which occurs everywhere. But psychoanalysis, instead of allowing man to make the best of his natural, and in a sense providential, disequilibrium—and this best is whatever is beneficial for his ultimate fate—tends on the contrary to bring him back to an amorphous equilibrium, much as if one wished to spare a young bird the agonies of apprenticeship by clipping its wings."<ref>Schuon, Frithjof.
