Quote by Sarah Gailey

“When someone thinks they are getting away with something, they're easier to manipulate. They stop looking closely at the things that might make it feel like their lie is unraveling, and they reveal things they didn't mean to.”

“In Chapter 77, you had people of totally different worldviews and ideas joined together,” says Patrik. “You had, for example, democratic socialists on the one side and fervent Catholics on the other side. It was totally normal for me that as a small child, I was being raised in a community of people with very different opinions. So it shattered the bubble around me.” The lesson of valuing diversity within a broader unity of shared goals is something that Christians today need to embrace. “When we look at what’s happening in America today, we see that you are building walls and creating gaps between people,” he says. “For us, we are always willing to speak, to talk with the other side to avoid building walls between people. You know, it is much easier to indoctrinate someone who is enclosed within a set of walls.”

“The foundation of all pathology is nihilism as a general psychological state of experience. Nihilism occurs when all ideological systems collapse— and this includes the cereal meanings generated by culture. The normal person avoids the extreme feelings of nihilism by desperately clinging to those meanings and values implanted by culture, childhood and a weak biology, regardless of how irrational, painful and dull these meaning systems seem to be. Healing occurs when the person regains his feelings of power and reinstates his ability to create meaning structures. This theory is based on Friedrich Nietzsche's observation that the world is a work of art, created by the self. The "pathological" person is a failed artist, while the "normal" person has accepted consensual art and, in this sense, does not own the concept of personhood. In this context it is important to constantly keep in mind that the person himself is the work of art. Healing occurs in the will to create and form the world and self as one's own creation. The feeling of power, and the rational application of it to the ends of ones own creation, is the primary reflection of health.”
