As a parent it must be rough to make decisions for their children. Is there a right or a wrong? I think there are lots more gray areas. In the instance you gave the parents should have had the kid tested by a professional before changing her entire life, but again where they wrong? I think they believed they were doing what was best therefore it wasn't wrong, they were misinformed.<br><br>KathyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655038913540975453.post-27924458670295617402008-08-06T19:46:00.000-04:002008-08-06T19:46:00.000-04:00Exactly, Kath, you make my point.

My "line of normal" is adjusted daily. To me, nothing is as it seems. I've learned to watch and listen and think before I react and sometimes my reaction is not immeadiate.

I do not trust people's judgment who make decisions based on absolutes. There are so many shades of gray in this story. I don't honestly think there is anything like an absolute. I don't honestly think that there is absolute right and wrong on this earth.

I do think that people have wanted to think that people could speak foreign languages in their sleep etc Would surely have to be documented well for me to believe it! I always turn Sylvia Browne off. I think she makes too many fantastical claims. But I do think there may be something to some people being able to see and pick up stuff that others do not, just like with math or music, etc, some are much more proficient and understand when others do not.

I thin life consists mostly of grey areas where one may choose based on instinct, or adive from others, or what they read to make a choice. I found in my life that my gut instinct usually is the right one, although at times I tended to not listen to it, and suffered the consequences. To sum up, right or wrong it is different for each individual, based as you say on culture, personal biases, possibly religion or just general happenings in one's life, but life for me the way I see it has many many grey areas, it takes time to see the clear area and go in that direction. If i did not make sense, I am probably in my grey area at the moment.

By the way, who's truth do you mean? Also, if you saw absolutes in this piece, it's my fault for not being more clear. This is a perfect example of how dangerous it is to ignore the shadows between "right and "wrong" for as you imply, nothing is as it seems, and I believe that's only because humans are such diversely thinking creatures. The "kingdom" of absolutes is just that: a place of false honor to things that just don't mean anything. Which brings me right back to: *who's* truth? Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
