I liked this.
The ability to deal constructively with reality.
The capacity to adapt to change.
A relative freedom from symptoms that a produced by tension and anxieties.

The capacity to sublimate, to direct one’s instinctive hostile energy into creative and constructive outlets.
The capacity to love.
