The Act Of Loving Is An Act Of Self-evolution Even When The Purpose Of The Act Is Someone Else's Growth.

An Unconscious, Gentle Process Whereby People Who Want To Be Loving Attempt To Be So By Telling Little White Lies, By Withholding Some Of The Truth About Themselves And Their Feelings In Order To Avoid Conflict. Pseudocommunity Is Conflict-avoiding; True Community Is Conflict-resolving.

To Be Free People We Must Assume Total Responsibility For Ourselves, But In Doing So Must Possess The Capacity To Reject Responsibility That Is Not Truly Ours. To Be Organized And Efficient, To Live Wisely, We Must Daily Delay Gratification And Keep An Eye On The Future; Yet To Live Joyously We Must Also Possess The Capacity, When It Is Not Destructive, To Live In The Present And Act Spontaneously. In Other Words, Discipline Itself Must Be Disciplined. The Type Of Discipline Required To Discipline Discipline Is What I Call Balancing.
