The sight of a child…will arouse certain longings in adult, civilized persons – longings which relate to the unfulfilled desires and needs of those parts of the personality which have been blotted out of the total picture in favor of the adapted persona.

We are all different and that is part of the beauty of life. However, just because we are different does not mean that we can’t live together in peace.
