Our truth consists of

The adjusted American

does not recognize the

neurotic nature of much

of his behavior, because

this behavior is normal.

 

Taking conventional

behaviors for granted,

he merely redoubles

his efforts when he fails

to achieve relief from

the tensions that

drive him. 

 

Most of his fellows

are running hard and

he runs too, without

asking where he is going

— or why. 

 

(Each day the squirrel

endeavors to run a little

faster in his treadmill,

confident that one day

he will move ahead.)
