S: Understanding our views by sharing our experiences
From Silvia, 2024.08. I believe we are all shaped by our experiences and the perceptions & stories we acquire because of these experiences. It guides our paths & the new experiences & information we seek & allow to bring in to our awareness. My experiences: A daughter of immigrants who lost all possessions & life style to a dictator’s harmful & evil actions. Taught me about the impermanence of life, especially as it relates to culture & traditions. Only reliance that matters, is the one based on God. Growing up in Massachusetts which is steeped in the early history of this country gave me a love of this country & a deep appreciation for democracy and the ideals & intentions that our representative democracy is built upon. Taught me about courage and putting the well fare of others in the same place as my own & those I love own well fare as well. We are all in this together whether we understand this or not....
