Any incident that changed you or your life, completely or considerably? If so, how and why?
We go through many things in life which make an impact on us, some huge while some little. Each person takes that "incident" in two ways; either positively or negatively, which changes his/her life completely. Even if the impact is little, life will change considerably. I want to know if you have gone through any such incident. What were the changes and what did you do?
0Yes and am going through it. I am not going to speak about it but i will say these few things. My whole life has been turned upside down. What I thought to be valid and true is not. Authourity figures no longer have the right to receive my esteem. They will have to work to earn their validity and status from me together with receiving my fear at the same time. What was considered to be of the "light" is found to be of the "dark". And what is said to be of the "dark" is of the "light". For me, no one can be taken at face value. Lastly, whom is most closest to you? Will be your greatest and deepest betrayer. And when I can? ... I will let you know how and where I made "lemonade from lemons".
Thank you for sharing this with me ThreeKeys.
I just hope you get enough courage and strength to endure what you have been through.
I have been through the worst days of my life and got out of them stronger, braver and have learnt a good lesson.
I was nine years old exiting a Woolworth store through the check out line(no cashier)and without thinking reached into the penny candy jar and grabbed a piece...I was instantly 'Apprehended' and the police were called;they scared the crap out of me.
It's been over half a century since that experience and I'm still hyper vigilant about touching 'Anything' that isn't mine without permission!...Lesson learned!
Cheaptrick, I understand that completely. I was 7 years old and saw this small "rat teddy" which i fell in love with. I took it(without paying) and put it back (out of fear of the consequences). Lesson learnt, never steal-conscious is always right.
