There are quite a few times in my life that I can remember clearly making a decision that changed its course. One of these moments was when I was a small child. Want to hear it? Of course you do!
So, as a child I was very sensitive to other people's feelings. Contention made me very uncomfortable, and anger usually resulted in tears. (Ok, so I am still exactly like that, so what?). I even felt very strongly for people in movies! If they were sad, I was sad. If there were embarrassed, I felt it for them. (This one is more under control... but still, sometimes I can't help but put myself in their shoes!) This became very apparent one day as I was watching The Goofy Movie. In the movie, Max is always annoyed and embarrassed of his father, Goofy. This makes Goofy very sad, because all he wants is for Max to love him and be his friend! After watching this movie and empathizing so strongly with Goofy's sadness, I made a promise to myself that I would never treat my parents that way. Ever. I wouldn't get embarrassed by them, and I wouldn't be mean to them.
And I never was.
Don't believe me? Well.. too bad for you.
