This whole society, up to now, has been very violent with the individual. It does not believe in the individual; it is against the individual.

It does not need human beings.

Marshall B. Rosenberg

One needs something to believe in, something for which one can have whole-hearted enthusiasm. One needs to feel that one's life has meaning, that one is needed in this world.
