Overheard comments

I overheard this comment the other day. It was hard not to, the speaker was talking so loudly. Here it is:

“I’d spent so many years reacting against my parents and defending myself from them that now they’ve died I don’t know what to do with myself…”

It speaks volumes, doesn’t it? And I couldn’t help thinking there’s some of this in a lot of us….. Sometimes overhearing is not merely a sneaky activity. Sometimes it can deliver important messages to us.
