Thought for the day (back by request from Scampa)

oh Teffy, bless you, that's really sad. :sad:

But I know what you mean, I look in the mirror and wonder who that middle aged woman is looking back at me... where did my youth go?! :confused:

No matter how much you honour your parents as an adult, it will not make up for your behaviour as a child - Lesser's Law
 
Looking at this from the opposite direction:

Treat your kids well ........ as they will choose your Retirement Home. :(
 
I'm not a fan of this Lesser's law. To start with, it's presumptuous. Who is to say we can't make up for past behaviour; this all depends on the individuals involved. Sometimes we can, and our relationships will be all the stronger for it. Secondly some people find it very difficult to behave nicely as teenagers or children, but regret that later on when their body chemistry settles down.

I like to be positive thinking, and always look to improve on what has gone by. This law is negative. The only way you could view it positively, is as an encouragement to behave as well as you can when you are young. But later in life it is of no use. Bridges are there to be rebuilt and made stronger if circumstance allows.

Sunday 18 March - Thought for the day Sunday Special

when I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down "happy". They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life (John Lennon)
