JEANIE MILEY: Skepticism part of a maturing awareness
26.02.10
- My children have always been more certain of my teachers. In recent years I have listened carefully to them because they perceive their world and the world is happening better than me.
I understand both deliver this used to be, and I'm listening to enough people who move in it, but my adult children identify the things I need to learn from them.
They tried to tell me that right because the phone rings does not mean I have to stop what I am to suffer the consequences of c take it. I do not think they are always right about this, and we bother with them about it.
I keep threatening to ignore their calls when I see them end up on my display, but so far I have not been able or willing to pay that way. I'm still a bit too ingrained in the consciousness of my parents that if someone calls, you must meet.
I will never forget the day I looked in the face of my child and I saw she was not buying what I was selling just because I was his mother. I'm not on the exact subject we discussed, but it was really, really impressive to me, so I think the meaning is transmitted from generation to generation.
