“To experience conflicts knowingly, though it may be distressing, can be an invaluable asset. The more we face our own conflicts and seek out our own solutions, the more inner freedom and strength we will gain. Only when we are willing to bear the brunt can we approximate the ideal of being the captain of our ship. Spurious tranquillity rooted in inner dullness is anything but enviable. It is bound to make us weak and an easy prey to any kind of influence.” KindMayFacesEasyInfluenceWillingBearsConflictSolutionsGainsIdealsWeakBoundsShipsAssetsRootedCaptainsPreyInvaluableDullnessTranquillityDistressing Book:Our Inner Conflicts: A CONSTRUCTIVE THEORY OF NEUROSIS Source: Our Inner Conflicts: A CONSTRUCTIVE THEORY OF NEUROSIS
