"Most
people tell you they want to get out of kindergarten, but don't believe
them. Don't believe them! All they want you to do is to mend their
broken toys. 'Give me back my wife. Give me back my job. Give me back my
money. Give me back my reputation, my success.' This is what they want;
they want their toys replaced. That's all. Even the best psychologist
will tell you that, that people don't really want to be cured. What they
want is relief; a cure is painful." --Anthony De Mello - he was an Indian Jesuit priest and psychotherapist, spiritual teacher, writer and public speaker.Come! Share the journey. You are not alone. The angels are here. Your classmates are here. Your teacher is here. You are here.
