Summary

This quote suggests a sense of neglect and lack of care from the speaker's parents. The choice of bath toys, being a toaster and a radio instead of regular ones like rubber ducks or boats, symbolizes a lack of interest in providing the speaker with appropriate toys suitable for their age and enjoyment. This implies a deeper emotional disconnect between the speaker and their parents, which is further emphasized by the statement that the speaker could tell their parents hated them. The quote speaks to a troubled relationship and potentially difficult upbringing.

Be not the slave of your moods, but their master. But if you

Be not the slave of your moods, but their master. But if you are so angry, so depressed and so sore that your spirit cannot find deliverance and peace even in prayer, then quickly go and give some pleasure to someone lowly or sorrowful, or to a guilty or innocent sufferer!
