I thought about putting this me me me site together the other night whileI was watching American Beauty. I love that film. one bit that keeps rattling around in my head is; "Never underestimate The Power Of Denial".What am I in denial about? How would I know? I find it a curious thing that our families and friends are, usually, the last to inform us for fear that the truth may hurt us. And it usually does!
I read recently, a quote, in "the Week" (my weekly newspaper). It was under the heading "wit and wisdom" and went something like;
"If only God had made us that we could see ourselves as others see us".
It reminded Me of the times in my youth when I would get really upset with someone. Usually one of my brothers or one of my friends.
My Dad would say "Take a look in the mirror" and when I asked "what do you mean" his only reply to MeMe Me was "Think about it". I would get annoyed, to say the least. I think that the guy who wrote that quote and my Dad must have gone to the same school.
The School of hard knocks, The College of knowledge, The University of life, call it whatever you will.
He tried to "wake me up" to "smell the coffee". I like Me!
So what has this got to do with the price of fish? Absolutely NOTHING !
My Mother died at the tender young age of 53 years of depression OR SO the doctors say. Ibelieve her death was more likely caused by the cocktail of drugs that her GP (and other doctors and so called specialists) had administered for the greatest part of her short life. If my memory serves me well, she was taking around 28 pills a day, in various forms. Mostly antidepressants (Mothers LittleHelpers). Every 2-3 years she would be sent into hospital and taken off of her drugs, Cold Turkey and shortly after leaving (usually only a matter of months) the whole cycle would start again.
