The Point

Anyway, I think the main point of all that blurb yesterday was to say that sometimes we find ourselves doing stuff and behaving a way that we wouldn't do if we were still children or teenagers. And a logical conclusion to behving in this new and growed up way is to realise that we aren't children any more. And this newfound discovery, knowing that we can possess our thoughts, feelings and behaviours is actually quite liberating. It is almost as if there is this invisible doorway that when we pass through it, we are incapable of returning to an immature way of thinking. Ok, so some of our behaviour might not exactly be mature all the time, but the thing is that we know the difference, and indeed posess the will and capacity to choose.

I think it is exciting. I think that this new discovery that in fact I'm a grown up and can move forward with the knowledge of both my freedom of choice and responsibility is empowering. Instead of being fearful of this unknown authority figure that means you act out of fear - instead now you act out of choice. Nothing can control you becuase you don't let it. The more you are aware of your reactions, the more you can control your responses. It really is quite - ahem, again, liberating is the only word I can think of. Like the next layer of chains have just fallen off... that's the only thing I can think of to describe it!

Well hey, thats it for now.
