A BONE-DEEP LONGING FOR FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPECT
Within each person lies a bone-deep longing for freedom, self respect, hope and the chance to make an important contribution to one's family, community and the world.
Without healthy outlets for this powerful, natural longing, the desire for freedom turns into lawlessness and the need for self-respect is expressed in aggression and violence.
Without avenues to make important contributions to family, community and the world, hopelessness translates into dependency, depression, violence, substance abuse and other forms of self-abuse.
No government program can help families become self-reliant, contributing members of their communities unless it is built on a recognition of the power of this bone-deep longing for freedom, self-respect, hope and the chance to make an important contribution.
