3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
In fact it may be even cosier with Son away for a week - though I enjoy his company, friendship and the mutual support, myself and Missus can be more relaxed around the house in his absence. With his first true romance absorbing his energy, the process of his growing away from us is well underway. This is of course natural and right - when he does eventually "fly the nest", I can look back and say that I did well, and that for the remainder of this life experience he has this supportive presence to turn to where required.
This is of course the polar opposite experience to Daughter - but if two others love me and I am the same guy, I can conclude that whatever my weaknesses, I wasn't the problem! Distancing my consciousness from character, I can see that it just boils down to Physics and the way forces move. It just "is". I also know that with some people you can bond with and others you can't, and so clearly the most fulfilling choice is to save up all your lovin' for the ones who are lovin' you.
My policy of shaking off the dust from the detractors, aggressive darkness towards the predators and embracing the "fans" has in my experience to date proven to be the best way. There is a blissful peace that comes from the feeling that you're "doing it right".

9. ZEN WISDOM
To the extent that we contemplate ourselves and elevate our state of life, we can deepen our understanding of others. Someone who does so is capable of recognizing and treasuring people’s individuality. A person of wisdom tries to invigorate others and bring out the best in them.
