Anais Nin reflects on life:
She believes the first defeat, the first loss is the one which stamps itself on your soul. From then on you obey the pattern. You inflate it. It becomes a part of your belief system until you become aware of it and overcome it.
She believes it is only the neurotic who drags his past around and decides his life is like a novel which, once written, cannot be changed. However, if you live a rich and beautiful life, you can forget the ugly moments.
She believes some remember only the wrongs society has done them, never the kindnesses they have received. But she also believes you can dispel or laugh away a grudge instead of sinking into it.
