So I was just reading a chapter in Coming of Age and there was a line I really liked. In the chapter on how Samoans approach the concept of personalities Mead mentions how when something bad hapens they look to the attitudes of a person's relatives.
"Anger in the heart of a relative, especially in that of a sister, is most potent in producing evil"
interesting... why a sister? How did that idea start that of all the women that could cause someone to fall ill it would be the sister whose anger could cause this?
