Does it make you a fool?

It takes all sorts to make a world. You are aware of this because you have seen what all those other sorts do. The trouble they get into, the conflict they create and the amount of help that they need. You are one of the sorts that assist. You are a helper and a healer and you can't suppress your own instinct to supply that kindness.
We get excited when we see how much children have grown. 'Isn't he clever, he can do this now.' Or, 'look how she has changed the way she thinks about that.' Yet we seem to think that growing up is something we grow out of! We expect to become resistant to inner change soon after we have stopped adding inches to our height. Yet there is no reason why we can't keep developing and deepening our understanding our whole life long.
