According to Fromm, the awareness of a disunited human existence is a source of guilt and shame, and the solution to this existential dichotomy is found in the development of one's uniquely human powers of love and reason.
Po Frommu, svjesnost odvojenog ljudskog postojanja je izvor svih krivica i srama, a rješenje za ovu egzistencijalnu dihotomiju se nalazi u razvitku jedinstvene ljudske moći ljubavi i uma.
