Complete this thought: "If everyone had grown up the way I did, this world would be..."
just as interesting a place as it is now. We all have different inherent qualities as well as learned behaviors and each of us reacts to circumstances and events differently. I came out of childhood with both strengths and insecurities. Experiences that energized and pushed me could have caused someone with a different disposition grief and anguish. Something that was overwhelming for me may have made another person rise to the challenge. It makes me appreciate the incredible variety of humankind all the more.
