Extraordinary and transcendental are, for living one's life, his cherished spiritual idols. In any of these idols, one sees himself, and in himself is as well seen any of them. Hence they the idols would natually become dependency and anchorage of a certain kind, by which conviction is brought to one; they the idols make it that not only in oneself is the facets of the idolatrous divinity caught sight of, when they used to be undiscovered; but also what used to be one's superficial shadows are found reflecting with his idols' mediocrity.
在人的生命中,精神偶像有着超凡脱俗的意义。 一个人能够在偶像身上看自己,在自己身上看偶像。由此偶像便成了一种依靠与寄托,带给人信念;它让人看见了自己身上原本未见的、具有偶像神性的一面,也看见了自己原本鄙陋的阴影同样和偶像的平凡相映在一起。
