The psychoanalytical contention that all the divagations of the sub-conscious carry a deep passional significance cannot be made to fit the facts. One has only to observe oneself and others to observe that we are no more exclusively the servants of our passions and our biological urges than we are exclusively rational. We are also created possessed of a very complicated psycho-physiological machine which grinds away incessantly and in them course of its grinding throws up into consciousness selections from that indefinite number of mental permutations and combinations struck out in the course of its random functionings.
