Words Of The Wisdomless: More or Less -

Words Of The Wisdomless:  More or Less - Every one is expected to do more or less what others have already chosen to do. It's the expectational soul that chooses to go their own way, more or less. It's really special people that can do all this with not knowing it more or less.  Are you special?  I know I am, more or less... - Chato B. Stewart

Words Of The Wisdomless:

Talking to my therapist about the horror of my childhood her comment surprised me. She said, "I apologize to you that no one was there to protect you."

It made me think, it was the first time any one said sorry to me for it.  I've heard it said other ways, but she took ownership of my pain and I felt some closure.

Let's try it. "I apologize to you that no one was there to protect you."
