Hi ~inquiry,

I really like this post. I'm in college right now, and as I'm making friends, I'm kind of seeing the difference that good parenting/teaching makes (I guess they're two sides of the same coin). I have 3 buddies that I'm always working out with and hanging out with. We talk a lot about ways to improve ourselves and just be better people (for example, two of us (myself included) have a bad habit of talking shit about other people). One of the things that we have in common are parents that pushed us just hard enough to do a lot of difficult shit and grow from that, and also put an emphasis on developing healthy relationships with others. It's hard for me to describe, but it's like... we've all had the types of relationships with our parents where we bounce moral/life ideas off them and learn from them. I think that kind of relationship is important for creating a mindset of wanting to improve, and it's good to pass it on to others.

It did!

Of course, something often forgotten is we understand ("stand under"?) things in private contexts of meanings of words. So there's always the chance you're standing under one car (think: car on a hydraulic lift) representing a set of meanings for commonly exchange word symbols, and I'm under another.

Just sayin'.... :-)
