Integrity vs. Despair

Whatever age, sex or colour you happen to be, whatever stage of human development you may have reached, you will have memories of phases when life
seemed more of a trial than others. You may have experienced a difficult childhood, when you felt unloved, or lacking in approval. You may have been taught
that guilt was a natural state of mind, and through experience, that trusting others only ended in tear and pain.

Reflecting back over your life, you will have your own recollections of experiences from earlier life phases that either positively or negatively influenced
your beliefs, thoughts and experiences up to this point. Vitally important learning skills are acquired in our formative years. We receive so much of that
learning as a result of influences received from events, selections (choices) and people.

You get treated in life the way you teach people to treat you. Wayne Dyer ~ 1940-, American Psychotherapist, Author, Lecturer
