What Do You Think It Is That Drives People To Want Far More Than They Could Ever Use Or Need? I Frankly Think It's Insecurity. How Do We Let The World Know That The Trappings Of This Life Are Not The Things That Are Ultimately Important For Being Accepted?

What's Been Important In My Understanding Of Myself And Others Is The Fact That Each One Of Us Is So Much More Than Any One Thing. A Sick Child Is Much More Than His Or Her Sickness. A Person With A Disability Is Much, Much More Than A Handicap. A Pediatrician Is More Than A Medical Doctor. You're Much More Than Your Job Description Or Your Age Or Your Income Or Your Output.

It's Not Always Easy For A Father To Understand The Interests And Ways Of His Son. It Seems The Songs Of Our Children May Be In Keys We've Never Tried. The Melody Of Each Generation Emerges From All That's Gone Before. Each One Of Us Contributes In Some Unique Way To The Composition Of Life.
