“I’m sorry that the world is what it is. But you’ll learn how to survive—and you’ll have to create a space where you’re safe and learn to trust the right people.
This is such a comforting line, even if it underlies a lot of effort required in the process of creating one's space. But, I see it as a ray of hope.

So mental culture has to come first.”
