CV

Not a curriculum vitae, unless you're nuts.

C:  Hey, do you ever think that something might be wrong with your brain?

 

V:  Everyone feels that way, at least some.  Why do you ask?

 

C:  Because sometimes I feel like something is wrong with my brain.  Not intellectually, but socially, and with emotions and feelings.

 

V:  Yeah, I get that.

 

C:  How can we learn it?

 

V:  You can't - it's something you have to learn as a child.

 

C:  No!  There has to be some way, if we missed out on learning it as a child!  Who would know how to teach us? 

 

V:  No one, man!  It's something you get as a child and you can't get it later on.

 

C:  Why?

 

V:  Because the people who got it when they were young don't even know what you're talking about.

 

C:  Like, they got it, but they don't know how?

 

V:  Exactly!

 

C:  So there must be some form of psychology that can teach us those things.

 

V:  Maybe.  I've never heard of it, though.

 

C:  Doesn't the loss of those things bother you?

 

V:  I really don't think about it much, you know. 

 

     I can't help you because I don't have those things, either.  You should talk to someone who has them. 

 

C:  But no one who has those things even knows what I'm talking about!

 

V:  That's what I just said!

 

C:  Then how do we fix ourselves?

 

V:  I don't know, but I feel cheated. 

 

C:  And I would be the one who cheated you, right?

 

V:  Yeah.

[Coyote Poetry]

Looking at what we are can scare the hell out of us. I believe we are just learning as we go along. The right and wrong of life is hard to tell now a days. I wouldn't want to be a mind doctor today. The world is a lot different. Kids grow up too fast. They see little future and we want a positive outlook. I try to be kind and patience with my kids. Maybe they will be wiser then me? A excellent conversation. I had a few like this.
