Again, I choose to believe that our parents gave us the best they had. If they didn’t give us Real Love, it was only because they didn’t receive it themselves and were empty and afraid. They were so preoccupied with their own needs and fears that they were unable to genuinely care about our happiness. But the result, intentional or not, is that we are then unable to give Real Love to our own children and others, and so the cycle continues, from one generation to the next, until we learn how to change our behaviors.
