Capacities clamor to be used, and cease to clamor only when they are well used. - Abraham Maslow

False optimism sooner or later means disillusionment, anger and hopelessness.

I believe that another task which needs doing before we can have a good world is the development of a humanistic and transpersonal psychology of evil, one written out of compassion and love for human nature rather than out of disgust with it or out of hopelessness.

All that is needed for science to be a help in positive human fulfillment is an enlarging and deepening of the conception of its nature, its goals and its methods.
