Jun. 3rd, 2002 11:44 pmCarrying on my sisyphean task of constructing a critical perspective for life:
Assumptions:
My "I" was, and is, shaped by interactions with others.
In general, I tend to remember the negative lessons more strongly than the positive.
Developmentally speaking (though I have problems with the implied hierarchy of developmentalism, I can't find a better word), I was unprepared for the strength of negative lessons taught in regards to my precociously innocent transgressions.
I believe that the aftereffects of those lessons linger still.
How does any of that help? I feel as though I'm still being nothing other than descriptive. I am impatient for action, or at least its implication, but I fear hasty generalizations and the other fruit of my impatience.
