[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 680851, member: 18958"] What a beautiful interview New Leaf. So touching that a person of his magnitude would be hurt and lack the confidence to go on. I know very well the Freudian Psychoanalytic perspective and the sense by those that hold this view of their correctness. For quite a long time I believed that. I held the same view of humankind. I have realized only lately the past decade that at the core of me, I believe something quite different. I believe as does Viktor Frankl and while I read his book many, many years ago I did not know myself well enough to know I viewed life in a similar way. In my work, too, I have been ridiculed. I am not so important that it be surprising that I be ridiculed, what is surprising is that I am quite kind and hopeful in my work. That is what I find remarkable, that kindness and hope would be shunned. But it is. I believe that is one reason why this site is so important. Because it does not cost so much to try, to risk to be close to others. We can persist and do persist to break through the bitterness and cynicism that it is all to easy to feel. While we use this bitterness as armor to protect ourselves, to protect ourselves from our beloved own children, we do not have to. And that is what we reach out to teach each other. While we move towards detaching and towards self protection the most remarkable thing we give each other is hope. More than care, more than support, we strengthen each other to hope and we support each other to find meaning. Thank you. COPA [/QUOTE]
