The process by means of which human beings can arbitrarily make certain things stand for other things may be called the symbolic process.【31】we turn, we see the symbolic process【32】work. For example, stripes on the sleeve can be made to stand for military rank; crossed sticks can stand for a【33】of religious beliefs. There are【34】things that have not a symbolic value.
Almost all fashionable clothes are【35】symbolic. And we select our furniture to【36】as visible symbols of our taste, wealth, and social position. We often choose our houses on the【37】of a feeling that it "looks well" to have a "good address". We trade in perfectly good cars for【38】models not always to get better transportation,【39】to give evidence to the community that we can【40】it.
I once had an eight-year-old car in good running condition. A repairman, who knew the condition of the car, kept【41】me to trade it【42】a new model. "But why?" I asked, "The old car’s in【43】still." The repairman answered scornfully, "Yeah, but all you’ve got is transportation."
Such complicated and apparently【44】behavior leads philosophers to【48】over "Why can’t human beings live simply and naturally?"【46】the complexity of human life makes us look enviously at the relative simplicity of such lives as dogs and cats lead.
Simply, the fact that symbolic process makes complexity possible is no【47】for wanting to【48】to a cat existence. A better【49】is to understand the symbolic process【50】instead of being its victims we become, to some degree at least, its masters.
