THE BIRTH OF AN IDEA
"Altbough iTad a natural respeot for thought, it took me years j before I could overcome the fear, almost terror, inherent in every : genuine attempt at thought. Almost everybody experiences that fear, without admitting it to himself. ; " The main" reason for our fear of thought is its difflculty. We j are afraid, too, that our illusion^ may be destroyed. For to replace them requires one of the most difflcult decisions in human life, the establishnjent of personal opinions, and thus the taking of responsibility upon ourselves. Thought is the beginning of true orention, and all oreation is painful — whether it be the birth of a child, of a symphony or of an idea. — Mr Rom Landau in "God is My Adventure."- ^ ^
