Developing character is a very delicate social process that requires time, energy, a strong family unit, and powerful community support structures.

Trying too hard to get the other person to understand inevitably leads those in relationships with responsibility-deficient characters to feel angry, frustrated, and ultimately depressed and defeated.

It’s hard to think of any problem in human relations that doesn’t stem from a failure to adequately discipline one or both of our two strongest instincts: sex and aggression

Disturbed characters’ self-indulgence always creates a living hell for those around them but can also create one for themselves. This woman’s life will be a continual shipwreck until she makes up her mind to start accepting some responsibility for her actions and their impact on those she supposedly loves.

In my new book, Character Disturbance, I go to great lengths to highlight the many and significant differences between most folks and people of disturbed character.
