Arti i faljes
Roli i faljes është nënvlerësuar. Është një nga aftësitë humanizuese e aftë për të sjellë pak rehati dhe për të hequr qafe barrën që do të ishte në gjendje të na mbajë për vite me rradhë. Mund të thuash se në fakt është shërues. Pranoni gjendjen e punëve dhe thjesht ecni përpara, me kokën lart…
