If You Only Have A Hammer, You

The Emotional Reaction In The Peak Experience Has A Special Flavor Of Wonder, Of Awe, Of Reverence, Of Humility And Surrender Before The Experience As Before Something Great.

Let People Realize Clearly That Every Time They Threaten Someone Or Humiliate Or Unnecessarily Hurt Or Dominate Or Reject Another Human Being, They Become Forces For The Creation Of Psychopathology, Even If These Be Small Forces.

No Psychological Health Is Possible Unless This Essential Care Of The Person Is Fundamentally Accepted, Loved And Respected By Others And By Himself.
