We cannot touch even the fringe of spiritual truth. I believe that one of woman's greatest weaknesses is the fact that she does not discriminate, often, between true sympathy and false. To make this weak point strong, woman must study her nature in its duality , for without this knowledge one is often helpless to discriminate between the pull of the emotions, which disintegrate and exhaust, and the urge of true sympathy, which is supremely spiritual in its power. Sympathy is always imaginative, bringing to us true pictures and true knowledge of the work of aid which lies before us. Sympathy makes human minds so plastic that words are hardly needed to find out the cause of another's trouble.
Sympathy translates itself into action almost without the aid of human speech.
Absence of real unselfishness and of love for duty is so marked that duty as a fact and an ideal has not the place it should have in human hearts and minds. There would be real cooperation between women and men, a better understanding of each other's natures, and a new line of higher living for both. This must come about if the dream of world reconstruction is to be made a living fact. But it is impossible and would be most unjust to say that woman is to be blamed, or that man must be. It is the unnatural conditions in general human life today that too often hem woman in and hold her down, causing unrest and consequent unhappiness.
