“If we expect to identify ourselves in a second other but don’t recognize ourselves in our choice, living can turn into bitterness because the wheel of time has set another compass.

Only by revisiting and resetting our emotional construction do we ingrain its substance and viability. ( "Alpha and Omega")”
