I Have A Kind Of Respect -

Forgiveness Works Two Ways, In Most Instances. People Have To Forgive Themselves Too. The Powerful Have To Forgive Themselves For Their Behavior. That Should Be A Sacred Process.

So I Had To Be Careful. I Recognized The Responsibility That, Whether I Liked It Or Not, I Had To Accept Whatever The Obligation Was. That Was To Behave In A Manner, To Carry Myself In Such A Professional Way, As If There Ever Is A Reflection, It's A Positive One.

Child Psychologists Have Demonstrated That Our Minds Are Actually Constructed By These Thousands Of Tiny Interactions During The First Few Years Of Life. We Aren't Just What We're Taught. It's What We Experience During Those Early Years - A Smile Here, A Jarring Sound There - That Creates The Pathways And Connections Of The Brain. We Put Our Kids To Fifteen Years Of Quick-cut Advertising, Passive Television Watching, And Sadistic Video Games, And We Expect To See Emerge A New Generation Of Calm, Compassionate, And Engaged Human Beings?

I Wanted To Explore The Values That Are At Work, Underpinning My Life.

I Find Myself, At This Time In My Life, No Less Challenged, No Less Plagued, No Less Intrigued By What I Still Don't Know.
