Ned suggests:
Mr. Cummings just might have created some of his own problems for himself,
if his all-lower case name is any indication. (not that there's anything
wrong with that)

There's another approach to holding our own ground though. We might believe
that we are unique, and to some extent it's true, but we can't help being
influenced and moulded by others.

Doesn't matter who you use. There's a theory that we are made who we are by
all the experiences and inputs of our lives. And so each person we meet
becomes something we want to be more like or less like, and that forms the us
of us.

Seems to me Frank Smith said something along those lines in The Book of
Learning and Forgetting.

I'm re-reading it and will put the quote here if I come to it.

I had an education professor tell me that in the early 70's, but I don't know
(if from a single source) he and Timothy Leary read it, or it it's obvious to
people at some level of understanding how people learn. Both had studied
pre-70's psychology, though, so probably a common source.

Ooooh, and he said it in the flesh, at the conference. He went to see
Sandra speak, Sunday at 8am. Then in his 9:30am discussion session he
said after hearing Sandra he was going to be a bit more like her!!!!!!!
