“Every social need, such as the need for friendship, must be a party to its own satisfaction: I cannot passively find my friend as a ready-made friend; a ready-made human being he may be, but his friendship for me I must help to create by my own active resolve.” NeedsHumansMayMadeHelpingSocialMy OwnHuman BeingsPartyReadyMy FriendsSatisfactionActiveResolve Book:The Meaning of God in Human Experience Source: The Meaning of God in Human Experience
“I have seen myself lose intolerance, narrowness, bigotry, complacence, pride and a whole bushel-basket of other intellectual vices through my contact with Nature and with men.

So to be with anybody else has to somewhat lie in that comfort zone I've created with myself so well.” WayWellsI CanDifferentSelfLightAbleLyingProcessMy OwnTaughtColorComfortShapesSatisfactionReasoningZoneComfort ZoneRefinedSelf Taught Author:John Mayer
