I have fortunately trained my patients to have respect for intellect and therefore not to think that they are intellectuals. They are average people. Their intellect has not been thoroughly trained as, let me say, as a great scientist’s intellect…Let them talk about average trivialities. And whoever wants to talk of something else—of stirring events in politics, in art, in literature--let them listen to other panels. Maybe they are held. I don’t know. But don’t let them listen to my patients. My patients are obliged by me to speak of nothing but trivialities, that means of life as it pulsates, as it lives, as it is close, and not of artificial issues like politics, economy, and other things that are artificial in the mouth of somebody who has no special knowledge in these fields.” (MFMA, p. 141) Manage Your Fears Manage Your Anger © 1995 by Phyllis Low Berning and Marilyn Low Schmitt The Wisdom of Dr. Low is compiled by Cliff Brown and edited by Marilyn Low Schmitt You are subscribed to the Dr. Low's Wisdom at your request.
