RE: Have you ever seen or met someone who represents someone you fear you might turn out like when you are old?

You have a good heart. I enjoyed reading. Beautiful piece. Your type is rare. And you dont need to find out after this life, you are a great person.
I have met a lady actually. She eats a lot and doesn't easily forgive but right now, she is so fat and so stone hearted. I had such traits, But i have made adjustments. In other words: what if, instead of investing all of our energy into what we don’t want to become (mean-spirited, critical, angry, abusive) we invested our time and resources toward what we do want to become (loving, kind, gracious, forgiving, etc). This might seem like a minor distinction, but I believe it’s really important. I am so happy you helped that professor. This is a gift. A lot of people gave up because no one was there to support or give them that extra push. But God bless you abundantly in all your endevours.
Thanks @arthuradamson. Its good to read your post again after a great while. So about the topic, i was really inspired to say thid, So in other words, the more I focus on a person I hate, the more I meditate on their behavior, the more I consider how I can avoid becoming like them, the more I become like them. The more I resist becoming like something I dislike, the more I accidentally move toward those qualities. Great post @arthuradamson.
