People think, or at least many people think complaining about one's childhood is a warning for psychologically affected persons. But on the contrary isn't your childhood the most important and formative part of your life ? How you lived yesterday reflects on the way you live today. Happy today then thrilled about it tomorrow and vice-verse.
One is tempted to believe that a well remembered childhood walks with you everyday in thought and action, one way or another.
Have you seen a lost childhood ??
Very true...I don't think the people who knew me as a child would even recognise the kind of adult that I am today. And I truly don't carry the memories of my childhood.
ReplyDeleteOftentimes people seem to forget that psychoanalysis is only one way of looking at things.
On the other hand, I've also seen people want to/ live lives that are in complete opposition to their childhood. A well remembered childhood need not come with you every step of the way of your life, you might not even need to "remember" it, but the lived experience might be an un/sub conscious factor that might play a role in the life you choose as an adult.
P.S. Have you even read my blog, wretch? Do you know who this is?
Hmmm... I guess we must agree to the fact there various kinds of people and they are in really different and diverse and often in difficult situations. I would imagine, my childhood is nothing to boast about. With all due regards to my parents; they did know how to be soft to a very small child, that would make him a soft person in future... But no regrets.
ReplyDeleteA problem can be solved by (1) acknowledging its existance (2) discovering its source.
Thank you undercover Gypsy and artensoul.. for your time and patience..a virtue that is going "out of fashion" today.
ReplyDeleteChildhood and its memories truly make us who we are .. whether you like it or not.. It is by chance not by choice!! And thats the beauty of it !!
I don't think there is much beauty to it if it is bad memories and an awful childhood. I m someone with that and I have had many many problems as an adolescent.
ReplyDeleteI am proud to say I ve come out of it as a more sensible and a much stronger person. However, if I had a choice I would want a childhood. One that is happy and filled with good memories.
