Jean Vanier Quotes
Community As Belonging ...
Each Person With His Or Her History Of Being Accepted Or Rejected, With His Or Her Past History Of Inner Pain And Difficulties In Relationships With Parents, Is Different. But In Each One There Is A Yearning For Communion And Belonging, But At The Same Time A Fear Of It. Love Is What We Want, Yet It Is What We Fear The Most. Love Makes Us Vulnerable And Open, But Then We Can Be Hurt Through Rejection And Separation. We May Crave For Love, But Then Be Frightened Of Losing Our Liberty And Creativity. We Want To Belong To A Group, But We Fear A Certain Death In The Group Because We May Not Be Seen As Unique. We Want Love, But Fear The Dependence And Commitment It Implies; We Fear Being Used, Manipulated, Smothered And Spoiled. We Are All So Ambivalent Toward Love, Communion And Belonging.
