[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 741859, member: 18958"] Yes. Yes. I agree. I guess it is because my son is not connecting to his empathy, to his kindness, even to, especially to, the EFFECTS of his behavior on everybody else (me), or on society. It galls me so much that he calls 6k ambulances for rides to the doctor. There are moral RIGHTS and WRONGS, that he is not in touch with, or taking into account. I agree with you completely. I guess they are calling this "false equivalency" now. It used to be called relativism, the idea that there was no right way to live; I used to think this way. That to have a sense in the "right" thing to do was to elevate the culturally specific to inherent truth, and somehow ethnocentric. I no longer believe that now. I believe that there are moral absolutes. That there are right ways to live. But at the same time I try to "let it be" in the sense that I cannot enforce a belief system and I have to live in a world where I have no control in the marketplace of ideas and beliefs. I am not sure though that I believe there is an independent "truth." *Except I see I must be confused because if you believe there are rights and wrongs, how can there not be an independent truth? I believe that there can be universal "goodness" but I do not know if I think of this as "truth." I will think more about this. I agree with you here. I am never served by personalizing what my son does or says. But I do. I am glad I posted this thread because it is a way to get clarity where I stand vis a vis my pain. I am taking heart because my pain about my son has diminished. I can tell as I type this. Thank you. PS. The congregation in Pittsburgh was targeted by the killer because they had been working to aid Central American immigrants. That is the lunacy, that Jews are behind the Caravan. Sorros, and Jews in general, have manufactured and funded the immigrant caravan in order to take over the country from real citizens. OMG. [/QUOTE]
