"Why do you do them? Don't answer this question by explaining the immediate situation involving each one." (This is rationalizing them) "That will only confuse you and throw you off the scent. Remember that you are looking for neurotic trends, not for excuses for behaving in your own worst interests." (D. Fink - Psych) (62:5) "Simply refuse to react in your adult situation in a manner appropriate to childhood fantasy... Have your neurotic trends compelled you to do certain things? It's good to know that. Now do exactly the opposite." (D. Fink - Psych) (62:6) "Adjustments to society direct the growth of personality... Adjustment to your social situations gives meaning to your life... Happy is the man who lives in his social environment as easily and unconsciously as a fish in water... But whether we are aware of it or not, it is through adjustment to social situations" (not from the Word of God) "that we get our motivations... It is the interaction between your prior purposes and needs and your social pressures that make you do the way you do." (D. Fink - Psych) (62:7) "The unwaxed and unpolished truth is that many parents are jealous of their children, resent their presence and their needs, hate the responsibility that children bring, and even hate the children. This sounds harsh, but it is true. Many parents are childish. They have failed to grow up emotionally, and are in competition with their own children. So they hand down their nervousness to their children by failing to give their children and even break... Adult animosity and cruelty take many forms. They often hide behind a mask of good will and kindness." (D. Fink - Psych)
