The Psyche, Might of Thoughts And The Way to Live

This is a contrast to when tangled ideas confuse the thoughts and abruptly go from one extreme to another, whereby a misdirection of the thoughts arises which triggers emotions, and can even lead to murder and manslaughter.

Therefore a murderer or despot, only pursues his/her unripe ideas, from which she/he is never able to make an ideal-that is to say a healthy, positive determination - because he or she remains caught up in the idea and does not come free of it.
