Synopsis
Excerpt from Time and the Child: A Study of Morality and Reality
Before concluding this preface, I would like to make it very plain to the reader that I do not wish to seem to claim for myself in any way the ability to do without the pleasant side of life. I have all the good things that I want, and enjoy them too. If I have not what I want, I get it if I can. I do claim, however, to have learnt that we lose a lot of fun by trying to hold on to something after it has gone. Light requires shadow by which to appreciate it, and Shadow is no worse than light, because it is its necessary complement. I believe that enjoyment depends on detachment, and that it never does for us to become identified with, or wholly absorbed in, any of our desires. I value very highly the Virtues of good balance and good humour, which seem to me to go together. And, I believe that our enjoyment of living should never be at the expense of some one else, especially if he or she is a member of the younger generation.

Time and the Child: A Study of Morality and Reality (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex relationship between morality and reality, exploring how our personal beliefs and societal expectations shape our understanding of the world. The author, a medical psychologist, challenges the notion that morality is simply a set of rules imposed from outside, arguing instead that it stems from our deep-seated desires and motivations. Through real-life examples and insightful analysis, the book examines how rigid moral codes can lead to inner conflict and psychological distress. It emphasizes the importance of accepting reality as it is, with all its challenges and imperfections, rather than clinging to idealized versions of how things "ought" to be. This exploration of morality and reality draws upon a rich understanding of human psychology and the timeless struggles we face in navigating life's complexities. Ultimately, the book invites us to embrace a more authentic and fulfilling way of living by aligning our inner truth with the ever-changing nature of the world around us.
