By repressing a movement a person may have buried a thought or a feeling inside him, but if it is an undesirable thought or feeling it is just as well that by these movements it should be thrown out instead of being kept inside him; it is better that it is extirpated than buried in the heart. No doubt there is another way of looking at it, and that is from the point of view of self control; but this belongs to asceticism, which is another subject altogether.
