"Dr. William B. said, 'It is interesting to hear we must give up personal
positions, such as on social questions. Please explain.' Reply: 'If you
give up your side of a social argument, you lose the self-identity this
position provides; for example, you can no longer call yourself a liberal
or a conservative. This abandonment of a label is too frightening for most
people, for they falsely believe they consist of their labels, so they fear
for their very existence. But it is precisely the self-labeling which
causes fear. When you do not have a position which is opposed by another
position, life is truly understood, and that is mental wholeness.'"
