“The attentions of others matter to us because we are afflicted by a congenital uncertainty as to our own value, as a result of which affliction we tend to allow others' appraisals to play a determining role in how we see ourselves. Our sense of identity is held captive by the judgements of those we live among.”

“The best formula for a prayer that gives J.O.Y:

J- 1st, Pray to JESUS
O- 2nd, Pray for OTHERS

Israelmore Ayivor
