IRRITABILITY, IMPATIENCE • Desire to travel – lethargic and sick,

jumps from the sickbed to go to the

cinema!

• At the root of this restlessness, desire

for change, alternating moods likes a

primal conflict between our two opposed

modes of being – on one hand civilized,

conotrolled and cultivated behaviour and

on the other, atavistic sexual and other

passions and energies (primitive).

• Conflict occurs at the subsonscious level

and when thwarted is expressed in

tantrums on the slightest provocation.

• Irascible and headstrong; desire to break

things.

• `Slap-happy’, `bad-tempermite’, who uses

foul languages, but extrovert and of

precocious mentality: can have sweet

disposition (sweat and lovely) with

alternating moods (becomes mean and

malicious).
