Armand M. Nicholi, M.D., professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, explains that Sigmund Freud died at the age of 83, a bitter and disillusioned man. Tragically, this Viennese physician, one of the most influential thinkers of our time, had little compassion for the common person. Freud wrote in 1918,
"I have found little that is good about human beings on the whole. In my experience most of them are trash, no matter whether they publicly subscribe to this or that ethical doctrine or to none at all" (Veritas Reconsidered, p. 36).
Freud died friendless. It is well-known that he had broken with each of his followers. The end was bitter. *
Only love can help us to see others as God sees them. We need His help to love others as He does. Doing so can bring joy and happiness into our own lives.
Have a great day and God bless!
