Allowance of the freedom of choices in direction, either for the group or individuals particularly in the near future.
Carl Rogers
Image
The only reality I can possibly know is the world as I perceive it at this moment. The only reality you can possibly know is the world as you see it at this moment. And the only certainty is that those perceived realities are different. There are as many “real worlds” as there are people!
