Question: By what means does one develop the sense of harmony in a child? Answer: I would develop harmony in a child's manner, in his action, in his speech, first believing that he naturally has love for harmony. The inharmony he shows is not in his nature, and it is not difficult to put out what is not in his nature. With my personal experience - not only with children but with persons of all ages and of great variety I should like to say that never for one moment I think that anything wrong belongs to anyone's nature. I think that it is only something outside which has got hold of him and which can be taken off some time or other. Therefore I believe that there is hope for everyone, and if a person were accused of being the very worst individual yesterday, to-day I would look at him with hope and think he had gone far from yesterday.
