"Even the scope of psychotherapy generally leaves out the soul, the creator, and the citizen, those aspects of being human that extend into realms beyond private life." (A Paradise Built In Hell, Rebecca Solnit, 2009; page 62)
By leaving out the possibilities of the public self we fail to acknowledge how much of our happiness and sense of well-being comes from our being embedded in a healthy society that supports the joy and love and sense of purpose that comes of true connection with one's fellows and one's God.
