Analysis of EASY



If life were easy...
would we all be so passionately involved.

Infancy is just the beginning.
It is the foundation for trust, caring,
the capacity to love, kindness and being able to relate to others.

Childhood is the most frightening of all
understanding so much
controlling so little.

Adulthood is the path for which we are in training.
Taking an unshaped mound of clay and creating the
pliable basis for life.

Easy...
Never.
Worth it?
Always.
