"The only thing that is truly boundless is the human spirit."
The task of psychology is to analyze the contents of consciousness into its elements.
The problem is, if you really believe in a society where those who merit to get to the top, get to the top, you'll also, by implication, and in a far more nasty way, believe in a society where those who deserve to get to the bottom also get to the bottom and stay there. I nother words, your position in life comes to seem not accidental, but merited and deserved. And that makes failure seem much more crushing.
The past is never dead. It's not even past.
