To be a human being and not a human doing. just to be, it isnt as simple as its sounds, it takes work and committment. I am lucky that I spent 20 years in personal therapy, which helped to uncover who I was and what I wanted. I had to disguard all the introjected shit that I had accumulated throughout my life and basically start again. what is the measure of the man? when i was a young man I thought it was to be a provider, bring in as much money as I could to pay the mortgage, feed my family and keep them in good health. Work, work, work, work, 7 days a week. Many years after my first divorce I asked my ex-partner why we split. she told me that I was never there, you cannot have a relationship with someone who is not there. she told me she would have been happier if we had 50% of the money I earned, and to have spent quality time with me. The lessons in life are tough.
