Quote by M Scott Peck

How strange that we should ordinarily feel compelled to hide our wounds when we are all wounded! Community requires the ability to expose our wounds and weaknesses to our fellow creatures. It also requires the ability to be affected by the wounds of others... But even more important is the love that arises among us when we share, both ways, our woundedness.


How strange that we should ordinarily feel compelled to hide

Summary

This quote highlights the paradox of human nature - despite all being wounded, we often feel the need to hide our vulnerabilities. True connections and community, however, thrive on the ability to openly share our wounds and weaknesses with others, as well as being able to empathize with and be affected by the wounds of others. The quote emphasizes the significance of the love and connection that emerges when we genuinely share and understand each other's woundedness, fostering a deeper sense of community and compassion.
