Unsere Welt ist auf vielfache Weise bedroht. Warum finden Milliarden Menschen nicht zueinander, um diese Gefahren abzuwenden? Meine Antwort ist: Weil Erziehung und "Sozialisation" in den meisten von uns Minderwertigkeitsgefühle, Missgunst, Geltungsstreben, unterdrückte Wut erzeugt haben, die uns voneinander trennen.
