I used to be SOOOO self absorbed

Posted by Kalamatianos on January 9, 2004, at 19:20:56

Its been 30 years now since I started on my quest to a better life. About half-way, I noticed that I had been adventuring out into what seemed the unknown to find a better, happier me.

To my astonishment, with all my smarts and all my reading, I discovered that either I hadn't left the "bad" place yet, or that I had gone all over the place only to end up right where I started.

This was humbling without being humiliating. The simplicity of trekking in a giant circle just to find what I already had, was very gratifying and humbling at the same time.

While still being toooooooooo self absorbed, I immediately set out to write the definitive "best seller" about what had been given me by fate and hard work. I called the manuscript, "360 Degrees from Dysfunction". In longhand, I got to about 150 pages before discovering that I had only opened the door a slight crack. I had much more to learn.

I learn from all of your posts these many years later. Please continue; I'll read. If I respond, please accept that I am not as self absorbed as I used to be. I am not here to punish or chastise or confront or mitigate hatefulness. And, by now you must have heard that I am 4-square against violence and coercion, especially done by parents.

I am here accepting all of us and all our loose strings and unfinished business. I accept us all without obligation or expectation.

Can each of you accept all of us without obligation or expectation? (rhetorical)
