When people appear to be something other than good and decent, it is only because they are reacting to stress, pain, or the deprivation of basic human needs such as security, love, and self-esteem.

Secrecy, censorship, dishonesty, and blocking of communication threaten all the basic needs.

If you plan on being anything less than you are capable of being, you will probably be unhappy all the days of your life.

Getting used to our blessings is one of the most important non-evil generators of human evil, tragedy and suffering.

Only the flexibly creative person can really manage the future, Only the one who can face novelty with confidence and without fear.
