I prefer another quote from Dickens, two quotes from two stories, David Copperfield and Bleak House. Each proffers the hope that better men that we have suffered and overcome the same human travails:
"Whether I shall become the hero of my own life remains to be seen", and
"It is a melancholy truth that even great men have their poor relations".
So ... with these in mind, shall we achieve a collaboration with the voices? Having done so, does it provide us the insight and compassion needed to tolerate those who have not?
