Doubt is often the beginning of wisdom.

Problems do not go away. They must be worked through or else they remain, forever a barrier to the growth and development of the spirit.

Children will, in my dream, be taught that laziness and narcissism are at the very root of human evil, and why this is so. . . . They will come to know that the natural tendency of the individual in a group is to forfeit his or her ethical judgment to the leader, and that this tendency should be resisted. And they will finally see it as each individual's responsibility to continually examine himself or herself for laziness and narcissism and then to purify themselves accordingly.

Self examination is the key to insight, which is the key to wisdom

It is not easy for us to change. But it is possible and it is our glory as human beings

I gave examples from my clinical practice of how love was not wholly a thought or feeling. I told of how that very evening there would be some man sitting at a bar in the local village, crying into his beer and sputtering to the bartender how much he loved his wife and children while at the same time he was wasting his family's money and depriving them of his attention. We recounted how this man was thinking love and feeling love--were they not real tears in his eyes?--but he was not in truth behaving with love.

Love is the free exercise of choice. Two people love each other only when they are quite capable of living without each other but choose to live with each other.
