ABSTRACT
‘With a heart full of sorrow, I say that I did not take advantage of the period of boyhood and youth as I should have. Neither mirth, activity, entertainment however innocent, nor love found a way to my heart. I acted as an old man since youth, and this undoubtedly was a result of my home upbringing which was based on fear and intimidation, for my home had no semblance of fun or joy at all’ (p. 186).
