Is it a elemental part of Adler that the new Being feel inferior. Sounds awful parochial to me. The new Being represents the hopes and feelings of those who concieved It. Are not these hopes somehow transcendent? Does not the nuturing of this new Being in the world represent the hopes and aspirations of those(in LOVE) who brought this new Being into the world ? I have difficulty understanding this concept of deficiency (inferiority) as I did understanding the c0ncept of original sin (which I totally reject). It is my understanding that size or shape has never had that much impact on meaning. Please clarify. Ed
