with their criticism. Not many people can stand tbis cynicism for very long and
people soon give up trying to be kind to them. This keeps the vicious circle going,
the Ammonium muriaticums become hard and they feel that they have to be in order
to protect themselves against the hardness of other people." [Scholten]
