In the second half of life we are called upon to examine the "truths" by which we live and even to acknowledge that their opposite also contains truth. . . .
In order to be complete human beings we need to recognize that we have an ego, which directs our earthly responsibilities, but also within us is the spark of something godlike. These two qualities seem to yearn to find each other; they want to be united again, as they were in childhood.
