Re: what have we learnt about life so far?
As a child being brought up by a very phsyically and mentaly abusive Father I hated him with such a vehemence it used to frighten my Mother. She also suffered at his hand, so the act of seeking advice etc was, in our house, a no no from the start.Re: what have we learnt about life so far?
I've always found that kids tend to take any advice parents give them and put it in the 'storage' file at the back of their mind. What you have to remember is Parents actually know nothing, they were never young, they never did anything daring, or stupid, or illegal or even anything fun............they never even had sex, for gawd sake.Re: what have we learnt about life so far?

Re: what have we learnt about life so far?
I'm just learning that not everybody's outlook on life is/was the same as mine. I was brought up a child of the 60s and until recently thought I had a broad outlook on life, now I realise I actually led a very sheltered life. I don't pass judgement quickly (though I'm not sure I ever did) and I ask questions and I'm learning more now than I ever knew I needed/wanted to know. Am I happier, I don't know. My life is now so different from anything it used to be I can't judge. But one thing I do know is some people are a lot nicer than I first thought they were, simply because I listened properly to what they were saying.Re: what have we learnt about life so far?

Yes we can go of either two ways swimming with the tide or against the tide.
