“The way we see the world shapes the way we treat it. If a mountain is a deity, not a pile of ore; if a river is one of the veins of the land, not potential irrigation water; if a forest is a sacred grove, not timber; if other species are biological kin, not resources; or if the planet is our mother, not an opportunity -- then we will treat each other with greater respect. Thus is the challenge, to look at the world from a different perspective.” IfsWorldWayLooksDifferentMotherOpportunityWaterNatureChallengesGreaterLandPlanetsPerspectiveShapesMountainResourcesRiversTreatsSacredSpeciesForestsVeinsDeitiesDifferent PerspectiveGroveTimberIrrigation Author:David Suzuki
“We're travelling through space and time, we're dealing with gods and monsters, but at the heart of the film, from my perspective, is a family - a father, two sons, two brothers, a mother and the fractious, intimate interaction that they have.” HeartTwoFilmMotherFatherSpaceSonBrotherPerspectiveMonstersIntimateInteractionTime And SpaceTwo BrothersGods And Monsters Author:Tom Hiddleston
“As Anna Freud remarked, the toddler who wanders off into some other aisle, feels lost, and screams anxiously for his mother neversays "I got lost," but accusingly says "You lost me!" It is a rare mother who agrees that she lost him! she expects her child to stay with her; in her experience it is the child who has lost track of the mother, while in the child's experience it is the mother who has lost track of him. Each view is entirely correct from the perspective of the individual who holds it .” FeelsChildrenMotherIndividualLostViewsPerspectiveAgreeTrackWanderScreamAnnaAisleToddlerLost Me Author:Bruno Bettelheim
“Life with a daughter of nine through twelve is a special experience for parents, particularly mothers. In a daughter's looks, actions, attitudes, passions, loves, and hates, in her fears and her foibles, a mother will see herself at the same age. You are far enough away to have some perspective on what your daughter is going through. Still, you are close enough, if reminded, to feel it all again.” IfsFeelsLooksStillsEnoughAgeActionMotherHatePassionParentAttitudeSpecialPerspectiveDaughterNineTwelveLove And HateOur DaughterYour DaughterLove PassionFoibles Book:Daughters: from infancy to independence Source: Daughters: from infancy to independence
