The L'Arche Canada Foundation in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada Daily Thought by Jean Vanier for Friday, 4 September 2015 "Protective Systems"
We all have a deep fear of our own weaknesses because my weakness is what makes it possible for someone else to crush me. So I create mechanisms of defense and compulsion to protect myself. We all have protective systems designed to prevent people from seeing who we are.[Jean Vanier, "Living Gently in a Violent World," page 68]
