When you seek to affirm your unity by denying that you have
anything to do with anyone else, by negating everyone else in the universe
until you come down to you: what is there left to affirm?
The true way is just the opposite: the more I am able
to affirm others, to say “yes” to them in myself, by discovering them in myself
and myself in them, the more real I am. I am fully real if my own heart says
“yes” to everyone.
Thomas Merton
