Thoughts about the Sentence: I Always Remain Relaxed ...
Sentence no. 73 contains two parts – in principle even three, if we separate 'my' and 'self', which we do not want to do though – namely:
- I always remain relaxed
- and thereby gain might over myself,
and nevertheless they still belong together, since the second part is the effective result of the first part.
Let’s take a look at both parts in somewhat greater detail.
First part reads: “I always remain relaxed”
That we should be relaxed, is instinctively clear to us, because all of us notice how the body aches and/or how thoughts and feelings are blocked, when we are not relaxed, but I began to wonder why we gain might over ourselves in this way. What exactly does that mean? Does it also mean that whenever we are not relaxed, but are tense, we have no might over ourselves? It must, right?
