You are so right about parents who shelter kids too much. It's so hard to watch a child learn about the sad things in, but it is so much more satisfying than raising a child who has not coping skills"ME" Liz Strausshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10711283307459944821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14775685.post-1152203517695460092006-07-06T11:31:00.000-05:002006-07-06T11:31:00.000-05:00Hi E.I would worry if you and I ever agree on thre...Hi E.<BR/>I would worry if you and I ever agree on three total paragraphs of anything. :) We come together at the core of the matter.

While they might shape us, it is a soft shaping ... one without character. It is only in the hard times that character is formed. <BR/><BR/>If a person experiences only the good ... only the easy, then 'mojo shivers' is correct. At the first sign of trouble you will fold in defeat. You won't know what to do as you have no experience to go by.<BR/><BR/>Parents do their children a disservice by keeping them safe from the harsh realities of life.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14775685.post-1152191126620293142006-07-06T08:05:00.000-05:002006-07-06T08:05:00.000-05:00Hi!Good morning!> "...I'm feeling good about life ...Hi!<BR/><BR/>Good morning!<BR/><BR/>> "...I'm feeling good about life again."<BR/><BR/><BR/>That was good to see!<BR/><BR/>I could say so much more ... sometimes we just fall down & its simply a matter of getting up, dusting our selves off & moving on - then, at other times, we may fall down a deep hole. Some holes are so deep that it is difficult, sometimes very difficult, to work our way out...<BR/><BR/>but the main thing is: I was really pleased to see "...I'm feeling good about life again."<BR/><BR/>---<BR/><BR/>> "It’s not been the good things that formed me. They are only the glitter."<BR/><BR/>Here I disagree. I think we always are, and will always be, the result of the sum total of everything that happens to us, everything we experience - both good and bad.<BR/><BR/><BR/>EAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14775685.post-1152187581423188402006-07-06T07:06:00.000-05:002006-07-06T07:06:00.000-05:00Well put Michael.
