How many a brother of ours in the human family possesses mental and bodily powers that would enable him to perform valuable works and services for society and for himself, if he but knew how to use these powers and direct them firmly and soundly. And how often we find him, in the depths of his soul, complaining of something that pains him and disturbs the order of his course through life. Yes — he suffers from a psychological complex: anxiety, or indecision, or fear, or envy, or shyness..... And this complex very often stands as a solid barrier between its victim and his success. It embitters his life and causes him deep psychological disturbances which may lead to the loss of his mental and bodily balance — that is, if these psychological ailments are left to run on and burrow into the depths of the soul.

her nerves, embittered her life, and broke her personality apart. Mariam ought

to have looked into the hidden places and corners of her soul for the cause of this psychological

anxiety... She ought not to have surrendered to the forebodings, but occupied her hours of leisure, kept up her mixing in society and in the clubs, helped the poor and the wretched, and trusted in herself.

As for Nadia, she suffers from the inferiority complex: the feeling that she is unable to keep pace with others, and that she stands lower than others in gifts and capacities. Such a feeling cannot inspire contentment in a person's soul, and so Nadia tries to adopt in her life a manner
