'All the loose ends of Scotland, And by naming them and accepting them, Loving them and identifying myself with them, Attempt to express the whole.' -wonderful poem reminding me the Fairbairn's theory of self. The purity of self is changed during life because of all the experiences people have while being involved in relationships. It is so hard to evolve without communication, but the ascetic people can do this. This way, it is revealed the great power of God.
