Quote by Donna Goddard

“We need difference to help us grow and blossom. It is what happens in life-enhancing relationships. Imagine living with a clone of yourself. How utterly boring. How uninspiring. How intolerable. We need difference to make life worth living. We are drawn to people who change us. Not change us into less of ourselves but into something we cannot be in our own solitariness.”

“The earth may die. Life may get extinguished. The civilization we have carefully nurtured with great effort may get destroyed. The doomsday scenario may play itself out unless we move away from the caveman mentality of the past in which we are stuck. The caveman feared his neighbour just as he was terrified of the wild beasts and the forces of nature that overwhelmed him. Today, we fear our neighbour more than wild beasts or natural calamities since very sophisticated instruments of destruction are at his disposal. That is not an improvement on caveman mentality. There seems to be no chance for survival of humankind or life itself unless the suspicious, predatory and adversarial nature of his relationship with his neighbours and with nature itself changes. Culture is responsible for this state of affairs.”
