Symbiotic.
That is a good term.
Oh, wow, nlj.
Given the description of love I posted, I must love my mother.
Healed must be when we stop thinking about them at all.
But aren't we trying to get to that place where we can understand why they did what they did so we can feel compassion for them and for us?
I mean, don't we need to know the why behind what happened, even if the why of it only makes sense to us?
Or maybe we only need to know what happened. I don't have the emotions surrounding so much of what I remember. When I do get them ~ whew.
To stop judging is a real gift.
I torment myself with the judgments I make about every single thing.
Maybe that has to do with external locus of control.
That would make sense, if the purpose of judging a thing is to define and limit its impact.
