Many Of Our Troubles Are Chronic. Life

I Am Not Caused By My History-my Parents, My Childhood And Development. These Are Mirrors In Which I May Catch Glimpses Of My Image.

Suppose That Throughout Your Childhood You Were Good With Numbers. Other Kids Used To Copy Your Homework. You Figured Store Discounts Faster Than Your Parents. People Came To You For Help With Such Things. So You Took Accounting And Eventually Became A Tax Auditor For The Irs. What An Embarrassing Job, Right? You Feel You Should Be Writing Poetry Or Doing Aviation Mechanics Or Whatever. But Then You Realize That Tax Collecting Can Be A Calling Too.

I Don't Think You Can Revive Traditions On Purpose.

If You Are Still Being Hurt By An Event That Happened To You At Twelve, It Is The Thought That Is Hurting You Now.

You Are Born With A Character; It Is Given, A Gift, As The Old Stories Say, From The Guardians Upon Your Birth...each Person Enters The World Called.
