I caught this Bill Moyers Faith and Reason episode last week and found it to be very enlightening. Others here may find it of interest too, forgiveness and personal recovery after an A are discussed in this interview along with some other very interesting concepts.

Interesting.



Stone him!!!

That's the only part that made me smile a bit.

The rest made me think..........

WAT

Wow Wat,

Did you take a speed reading course?

I saw the show and it still took me half an hour to read through the entire transcript.

I recently changed my sig line to read that life is 10% what you make it and 90% how you take...I had already drawn the conclusion that while you cannot stop terrible things from happening...you can not only survive but thrive IF you choose to dwell on the postives in life rather than the negative.

The difference between happy postive people and bitter angry people has always intruigued me. I used to believe that the happy people must have led charmed lives....I now understand that was a false assumption. Terrible things happen to everyone, but some people are better able to weather the storm, put things into perpective and then put it behind them. Recently I read a post of yours about your son`s illness and death and I was struck by that....your ability to but into perspective and then find peace with it. I was in awe.

I did learn something new in the interview...I am the type of person who is always angry with someone or something...right now my issue is my son`s education and the public school system`s inability to accomodate his dyslexia. I know I am going about this the wrong way because my buttons are getting pushed and I am in attack mode. I think I could change my thinking here...but the trick is how to do that when you deal people who are in attack mode themselves? Unfortunately this is not an issue I can walk away from or just let be.
