you are so right, zuni, we must take resposibility for every
thought, word and action - feel the good energy when we
make a "right" choice, acknowledge the bad when we make
"wrong" choice .... some say it is with hindsight that we realize
exactly how our choices have affected our selves and others ...
but i believe as you do in that evil meter, it registers immediately
to give us the feedback we need to choose more wisely the next time...
i also believe in setting things right after making a mistake ...
sometimes i do not feel an apology is honest, if we made a
bad choice with the right intention, so i do not apologize if
i felt what i did or said was reasonable at the time, but if i hurt
anyone, i do believe in making ammends - this learning is
so often very difficult, but ya gotta walk the walk, and in the end,
with hindsight, things become clear

no sorries for "long" posts, dear one, they are words to make
us all wiser

@ gabe, it is probably too late for your mom to see and feel with
clarity, she is aged now and it is too ingrained, it just is.... same as with my mother,
i tried so many heart-to-heart talks, only she didn't get it

sigh, yes i do think you may be correct, she had such frustration
with her life, she mis-directed her anger, and she usually blamed
it on some outside situation, never digging deep within herself....
it's really too bad, she could have been happier........
