Our sense of identity begins (our psychological birth sometime in
the first year of life) with the feeling that we are the centre of
the universe, protected by godlike benevolent parents who will
enable us to live happily ever after. This is the "Promise" that is
never given up, lurking in the unconscious part of our minds. We
must learn, reluctantly, that our parents are unable to protect us
from the passage of time, from decline, and from death. Yet we
retain, even as adults, the delusion that, while others may die, we
never will. This adds fuel to the murderous anger we are born with
and must master, alongside the contradictory vertical split in the
mind that we are destined to die. The "Promise" is described in
patients and in examples from biography and fiction in relation to
anniversaries and specific holidays. The book ends with a specific
illustration in relation to an eight-month-old infant.
