911 and 77 (21)
Sometimes when I have an idea it is short and to the point and expanding it into an article may spoil the effect so I thought I might add some shorter items such as this one which occured to me this morning as I sat with my eyes closed for some minutes reflecting, in a sort of meditative state...
As an adult you endeavour to repair the damage.
Just a thought maybe worth sharing.
Maybe I shouldn't add anything to that but I will anyway just to clarify what may be less than clear. It is this: Being an adult or being mature or being grown up is not really so much about being of a certain age but more about what kind of responsibility we accept to bear upon our own shoulders.
No matter what damage is done to us by others it is unlikely that they will queue up to make amends to us if they even care or if they even realize the hurt and harm they have caused us. So we have to move on.
This moving on is really about accepting or coming to terms with or otherwise no longer carrying this stuff as a burden upon our own shoulders. That is really what I am getting at when I say that as an adult we, you, me, endeavour or should endeavour to repair the damage done to us by our own, usually well meaning (albeit just as often totally misplaced meaning), parents.
