On Therapy

Most of the recipes of the ‘human potential’ movement for personal relationships and ‘self-actualization’ are prescriptions for emotional and spiritual sloth.   From cradle to grave, life is to be avoided by therapies, even when they are disguised as something else.”   -Henry Fairlie, The Seven Deadly Sins There is truth here, not absolute truth, for sometimes therapy is the response to a problem and aids its resolution.   Yet, therapy is also a luxury that ban be evasive and props up the ego.   Nothing more.
