I Am Mentally Bifocal.

Our Children ... Are Not Treated With Sufficient Respect As Human Beings, And Yet From The Moment They Are Born They Have This Right To Respect. We Keep Them Children For Too Long, Their World Separate From The Real World Of Life.

Endurance Of Inescapable Sorrow Is Something Which Has To Be Learned Alone. And Only To Endure Is Not Enough. Endurance Can Be A Harsh And Bitter Root In One's Life, Bearing Poisonous And Gloomy Fruit, Destroying Other Lives. Endurance Is Only The Beginning.

It Can Be Transmuted Into Wisdom, Which, If It Does Not Bring Joy, Can Yet Bring Happiness.
