"The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical
substances: if there is any reaction both are transformed."

Hmmm not sure about this quote - what was the context ? I do believe however inner peace comes from a level of acceptance, yet life is full of change and as a species we are connected by our uniqueness, those who follow, those who do and those who change. Given the state of the legacy we believe behind the more vulnerable species on the planet deserve are capacity to change their future. Dian Fossey, Jane Goodall, Margaret Mead etc...women who believe in the capacity to make a difference "never doubt that a small group of people can change the world...indeed its the only thing that ever has"...Margaret Mead...(PS...all women, all anthropologist ?)
