| new discovery makes its lasting impression. When a child finds out that what it used to believe | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| it loses its security. It is frightened. The child does not like what it finds and therefore | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |

| are its world, its universe, therefore what the child concludes after the shock must be applied to | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| when the orderly world and concepts of the child were destroyed. The wrong conclusions derive, first, from | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
