In the human mind both attraction and repulsion play; and here also, as in outward nature, the attraction is the stronger force. We are, however, not to forget that we here use the words in a figurative sense. We are availing ourselves of that correspondence between the world without and the world within, which is one of the strongest evidences that all things arose from a Divine Mind, in whose likeness we are created. By that correspondence alone is language possible, to be a means of intercommunication of man with man, and an important instrument for developing as well as for expressing thought. In this figurative sense of the words “drawing” and “driving,” we say that the child is drawn toward what is bright in color, sweet in taste, harmonious in sound, comfortable and pleasant to the sense of touch, and driven from the dull and dirty, the bitter and nauseous, the ill-odored, the harsh and discordant, the rough and prickly, the overhot or overcold.
