Our personalities deepen and grow, as we live in openess and respect for others, when weakness is listened to and the weak are empowered, that is to say, when people are helped to be truly themselves, to own their lives and discover their capacity to give life to others. Fear closes us down; love opens us up.” -Jean Vanier, Becoming Human
