Our picture of ourselves is formed by what we experience. Each of us comes into the world unsoiled, like a clean sheet of paper. Then people and circumstances around us begin vying with each other to sully this sheet, to cover it with writing.

And all these people claim that the methods adopted for grafting these shoots known as man’s “personality” to the trunk are immutable and infallible.
