Evaluating the benefits and drawbacks of any relaitonship is your responsibility. You do not have to passively accept what is brought to you. You can choose.

Smashing heads does not open minds.

What if airplane pilots said, 'my first three years were a wreck'? We worry about the safety of people at the hands of these other professions. Why don't we worry about children being at the hands of an adult, even a well-meaning adult, who doesn't know what he or she is doing?

Gentleness towards self and others makes life a little lighter.

Your past experiences will flavour your future ones, that is human nature.

Encourage, lift and strengthen one another. For the positive energy spread to one will be felt by us all. For we are connected, one and all.

You will have fewer regrets in life if you start focusing and taking responsiblity for where you are and where you want to be.
