[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 675430, member: 19522"] I completely agree with you D C! I like this way of viewing defiance. Your son is a trailblazer....Here are quotes from another thread about a trailblazer in his own time, long ago...... "In an era when left-handedness was considered the devil's work and lefties were often forced to use their right hand, Leonardo was an unrepentant southpaw. It has been suggested that this "difference" was an element of his genius, since his detachment allowed him to see beyond the ordinary. He even wrote backwards, and his writings are easily deciphered only with a mirror." from- [URL]http://legacy.mos.org/leonardo/bio.html[/URL] Who knows what our d cs are capable of, when finding their direction and meaning? Copa also introduced me to Viktor Frankl...... [MEDIA=youtube]wr6itOBLVQA[/MEDIA] My two, are out there, and it is hard, but this gave me great hope, and a reason to stop worrying and grieving, but try to focus on "overestimating" them, seeing that they are searching for their meaning. Trying to be an idealist..... Thank you Copa and D C, for [I]reminding me of this[/I]....... Recognize mans search for meaning, "presuppose, in this man, this so called "criminal, or [I]juvenile delinquent, or drug abuse and so forth, there must be a [B]spark [/B]of search for meaning, let's recognize this, lets presuppose it, and then you will elicit it from him, and you will make him become what he in principle, is capable of becoming." [/I] inspiring.......isn't it? (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
