What I wouldn't have given for an aunt like you to send me notes like that inside of a birthday card. The message is beautiful, positive, and above all, accurate. I grew up in religious household that taught that everything was predetermined and that this was only the beginning to an eternal life...not very conductive to a healthy, well-utilized opportunity to take a crack at this "living" stuff. I have hope that now that logic is (seemingly) making gains in the face of religion, generations will come to know that they can create the life that is right for them without hurting others.
I always like to share the message of skepticism and an internal locus of control to children and adults alike. It has too much of an impact on people's perceived happinesss to neglect and should be reinforced from an early time in life to raise strong, independent thinkers that may end up saving us from ourselves.
Such kind words, I really appreciate it!
I love when my blogs reach out to people, and at least make them think for a while!
Thank you for reading and leaving a comment, you are always welcome to come back!
Just try to keep me away ;)
