What I used to draw a lot were these three objects
If we hide what we fear it is bad for us,apparently.So does it follow we should reveal our secrets to the world? Or maybe to a friend…..I read an article by an American psychiatrist once ; when he worked in a big hospital he asked each new patient.
Who did you annoy to get sent here?
Because many people have peculiar ways, but it depends on their environment whether people tolerate them.Many people hear voices and there is now a society for them.Most are normal and lead good lives.The fear that you are going mad makes life very hard.So we should have societies for other people like maybe those who see ghosts.
When I was very young I can just remember how the chairs seemed alive to me and houses too,The windows were eyes and the door was a mouth.And on the wall was a big picture of the three bears.When I was about 5 I realised it was a bridge over a river with three sections.That was disappointing to my infant mind
I mention this, because, if we can remember how sometimes we saw something as quite different to how others would have seen them, it might make us more tolerant.And that would be good for all of us.
And if we know we have hurt others we may be less judgemental.
The main problem I feel is that like the lady who was shouting at me on Sunday that often we have no idea we have hurt someone ; at the same time we imagine people hurt us deliberately when they may just be tired or angry with their partner or child.
I think often we should bite our lip as it’s too easy to escalate a little problem into a war.
I read once good phrases
Don’t retaliate
Don’t seek revenge
