Weekly Thoughts

One of the unique characteristics of the human being is his ability to be two persons. He can stand off and look at himself. He can analyze his own personality. He can argue with himself. He can fight with himself. No other person can hate us quite so much as we can hate ourselves. No one else can hurt us quite as badly as we can hurt ourselves. And so it follows that no person can really be at peace until he is at peace with himself.

Thoughts by the late Rev. Paul Osumi are selected weekly by his family.
