Have you ever had an experience that has left you hurt, bruised, shaken?
Have you every bristled when you heard the names of people and reminded you of the painful experience?
Have you ever blamed, or blame your dissatisfaction or failures on someone something- whether it be your boyfriend, girlfriend, lover, friend, parents or family?
You may have seen tear jerking moment in soap operas – where an important person in the family on his/ her deathbed surrounded by a few sobbing loved ones- musters enough energy to mumble a few words, or makes a speech then drops dead ( just at the right time)? They either tell the family to be united, convey their love which has never been verbalized ever before, or ask for forgiveness for what they have done…. they they all wail loudly after he/she is gone…
