• "I AM THE DECISIVE ELEMENT I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approch that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendus power to make a life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture, or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a person humanized or dehuminized. If we treat people as they are, we make them worse. If we treat people as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming. -Goethe"
