I'm 32, so a lot of things that my father experienced first hand, I did not experience. I have to honestly say that I sometimes wonder how different I might be myself if I had experienced some of those things. He has demonstrated to me how big of a man he is in that regard. Having said that, if it were my daughter and she did not volunteer to have this done to her by her teacher...I fear there may have been a thread started about me here.
One other thing that I have come to grips with is that there may always be a fundamental difference in how we view different things. I personally don't mind discussing things and trying to help others see from a different perspective. It has been encouraging for me to see people even here on AFF say that I have helped them see certain things in ways that they had never seen it.
