From the depressing book...

[penkap]

"People's reductive notions of science have caused us to see relationships mostly as mutual manipulations and mutual exploitations, but in fact feelings of love and hate often extend to the impractical. They don't fit with our rationalistic system at all. The capacity for love may serve an evolutionary advantage, but how we act in the face of love is a process of our own. The superego pushes us to do things that give benefit to others at the cost of our own pleasure."
