Excellent piece. Having been raised in ...Hey Dre,<br /> Excellent piece. Having been raised in a family very simular to the one in the story, I could completely relate. I hated my father for years. As he grew older, I began to realize that he also hated himself for what he had become, and I learned to pity instead of hate. No good ever comes from a negative emotion. I found this piece very inspiring, great job!.The H.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13124937761636349858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19105683.post-5244946329294287502007-01-23T06:16:00.000-05:002007-01-23T06:16:00.000-05:00Sorry, I only answer questions from real people.

I hope that u...@ Greeny: Hey, my green-eyed queen,<br /><br />I hope that using the "hanging on to hatred" story didn't block the ultimate point of the story. People can place a high premium on just about anything these days; which can generate the same outcome. It just so happens that -- in this story -- the man clings to the hatred that he has for his father. The came results could come if the man placed his job abover everything else, his wife, his children, etc. <br /><br />But, you <i>did</i> hit it on the head by stating that "<i>Work, family, friends, play, etc each alone do not make a WOMAN/MAN; combined they make a Happier and healthier SOUL."</i>.<br /><br />But, believe me when I say, it's possible to put a person, a job, school, etc. above everything else; only to regret it later.<br /><br />Trust me.Andrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01018331496569382238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19105683.post-6583433114663322492007-01-18T15:31:00.000-05:002007-01-18T15:31:00.000-05:00Andre~ My Green eyed KING,
Whatcha doing to a gir...Andre~ My Green eyed KING,<br /> Whatcha doing to a girl , sniff` sniff `sniff`` , sad story but steeped in lessons. <br /><br />Spending ones life solely concentrating on one thing can be harmful ,as in this story the Man lost his Mother, father, and part of his identity. He was consumed by the anger and it became HIM ,within him so deep that when released it left a gapping hole ,the rest of his being withered due to this anger .<br /><br /> Sad but this happens to many in many forms , people need to forgive others for themselves to heal and find "EGGS" in many baskets of life to be secure if life throws them a hardboiled egg they dont crumble .<br /><br />Work ,family, friends, play , etc each alone do not make a WOMAN/MAN<br />combined they make a Happier and healthier SOUL.<br /><br />Thanks for making me dig deep in that GREY Matter again , as always great POST. <br /><br />Later Brainiac LOL(SNIFF SNIFF`)I am such a softie !;0)<br />GreeneyesGreeneyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02946141688595133954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19105683.post-30148408474238352012007-01-18T15:15:00.000-05:002007-01-18T15:15:00.000-05:00@ Cyn: I thought the same thing when I first heard...@ Cyn: I thought the same thing when I first heard that story. Pretty deep stuff.<br /><br />@ JD: I get your point, but I don't think that forgiveness alone is the key. The first step is to avoid the over-consumption/over-reliance in the first place. If a person doesn't devote themselves to a single person or thing, then they won't be as disappointed if that person or thing doesn't pan out. If the boy didn't commit himself solely to hating JUST the father, then he would not have felt so empty once his father died. <br /><br />To put it another way: if I had a full listing of some of my favorite television shows, then I wouldn't be so disappointed if they decided to stop showing one of them.<br /><br />Hope that makes sense.Andrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01018331496569382238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19105683.post-75462459963195943242007-01-18T13:02:00.000-05:002007-01-18T13:02:00.000-05:00Kudo's again, Dre.
