Understanding
the Human Condition
"How beautiful, how grand
this experience is,
when people learn to help each other.
It is impossible to overemphasize the immense need
humans have to be really listened to,
to be taken seriously,
to be understood.
"Modern psychology has brought it very much to
our attention.
At the very heart of all psychotherapy is this
type of relationship,
in which one can tell everything,
just as little child will tell all to his mother.
"No one can develop freely in this world,
and find a full-life without being understood
by at least one person...
"He would see himself clearly must open up
to a confidant freely chosen and
worthy of such trust.
"Listen to all the conversation of our world
between nations,
as well as those new couples,
they are for the most part dialogues of the deaf."
-Dr. Paul Tournier

Tell You Who I am?
