Your parents taught you?
It came up today, and I find it a fascinating question. I think many of us don't really appreciate what our parents gave us, vis a vis our views on life and how we handle it.
For me , my Dad taught me that worrying doesn't help much unless it actually achieves something ( like a solution). If there is nothing you can do, you just waste energy worrying about it. If someone upsets / lies / betrays you, why waste energy bothering with them again? He also taught me loads about nature etc. But he taught me to be chilled about stuff. A valuable lesson, and one that's really helped.
My mum's gift ( and granted we haven't always seen eye to eye on a lot of stuff) is this:
Never judge by how someone looks
Never judge by how someone dresses
Never judge by how someone talks
Never judge by what someone does for a living
Never judge because someone is of a different class ( this used to be big in the UK, less so now)
Never judge by anything except one thing.
Judge by who/ how someone is.
You?
