Читать книгу Positive Thinking: Everything you have always known about positive thinking but were afraid to put into practice - Vera Peiffer, Vera Peiffer - Страница 26

Inside, the Mouse is much more complex than is apparent from the outside. Inside, there is turmoil and upheaval, because somewhere in there is an ‘I’ that wants to come out, that has needs and urges that have been dutifully repressed for years.

A great need for appreciation and recognition drives the Mouse to more and more good deeds and selfless acts, and if this is not praised sufficiently by others, the Mouse becomes frustrated, and this drives him or her to even more selfless acts, sometimes virtually pursuing others to off-load good deeds on to them for a potential reward of recognition. If this is not forthcoming, the Mouse feels angry, but as anger is a forbidden feeling for an angel, it has to be suppressed and the little ‘I’ becomes even smaller. The Mouse is prone to exhaustion and nervous illnesses from suppressed feelings and wishes.
