Some aspects of true religion are accepted almost universally. Who, indeed, would deny them? Were anyone to declare that Jesus Christ's real meaning in the verse, "Except ye . . . become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven" (Matt. 18:3), was that we should all put on rompers and play on the beach with spades and buckets, he would be merely laughed at.

But if she is a good woman, a strong woman, she won't tolerate your childish needs for a pat on the head, collecting bigger toys, and being king of the mountain. A good woman will love the childlike part of you, but she wants your life to be guided by your deepest truths, not your untended childhood wounds. She wants to feel that at your core you have grown beyond the need for kudos and million-dollar toys. She wants to feel your self-generated strength of truth.
~ David Deida
