There are those who believe that children will become obstreperous if they are allowed to get their own way too often. It’s a fine balance. Too much control and the child might become timid and fearful To much independence and the child might become unruly and disrespectful. A child must develop the ability, on one hand, to assert their willpower. On the other, it must respect all sentient beings. Inside you now, one such child is clamouring to be heard. Yours is a timid one after years of being contained by an oppressive environment. The time has come for you now to reach out into the world and take hold of everything you have feared to touch.
