As for there being a turning point - well, 7 years from that point, I had an MBA, had won the national judo championships twice, won the U.S. Open, so it definitely is not an inexorable progression.<br /><br />On the other hand, I cannot point to this one spot that made all of the difference. I think there were multiple spots and it was a long path from being a complete ass - some people would say I never got there.Dr. AnnMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13741371839260099343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-88026150900943442312017-04-01T09:23:08.469-07:002017-04-01T09:23:08.469-07:00Was there a "turning point", or are we f...Was there a "turning point", or are we falsely led to believe that tied spread-eagle in adult prison is the inexorable progression from tied in juvie prison, or both?

Those that haven't actually hurt you, other than just being bat crazy. It is really hard to consider being truthful with those who are not, especially when you see their lives. I say this to ask that you use your teaching ( autobiography ) to stress the premise that true inner strength( president of GM one day thoughts )can withstand slings and arrows from those we cannot completely reject, yet we have to filter. Not being bullied is not always as easy as decimating your antagonist( Beating up somebody's grandmother )and often takes as much practice as physical judo. Realize you know this, just telling you what has been a struggle for me; the knowing when your inner voice is overly biased. We all have Delusions of Rationale, but I really like yours! :) Thank You -Old Grasshoppernoreply@blogger.com
