“All that leads, of course, to being sensitive, seeing insults where they are not meant, and where indeed they very often do not exist. Hyper-sensitive. Always afraid somebody is going to detract from us. Feeling somebody is trying to do so. Feeling hurt, feeling wounded. And that in turn leads to self-protection. Self-protectiveness. We spend a lot of our time protecting ourselves, even trying to avoid the possibility of something that might harm us. It becomes quite a great business, always protecting this delicate, hypersensitive self at the centre.”

“Though I scattered them among the nations, yet in far countries b they shall remember me, and with their children they shall live and return.”
