It is important that adults (pause) uncover such instances from their own childhood. As adults they can form a kind of understanding parent in their own mind, until they learn how to be sympathetic to their own behavior, and until they realize that life itself is an expression—not a repression.

Such negative patterns in childhood cause adults to be frightened of freedom—because freedom seems to imply a threat to life and to health. There are also people, of course, who never fall prey to such unfortunate cycles, but instead remain exuberantly free and healthy. Even so, health to most people means the absence of disease, rather than a state of exuberant well-being, challenge, and fulfillment.

Exuberance seems to be a quality belonging only to childhood or early youth—yet exuberance is instead the mark of healthy vitality. The mark of nature unimpeded, and it is the heritage of all living creatures. It is back toward their dimly remembered exuberance that many adults look with a sense of loss and nostalgia.
