I'm putting that's out there because believe I figured it
all out.
And it's all very confusing to me.
That an 18 year old kid would place the freedom of her phone
above all else.
- Above the promise of a union job paying $40.00 an hour.
- Above signing any type of house agreement
- Above a warm place to stay for the winter with people who have proven to be more than generous and more than patient.
I now know that it will probably come down to a $40 phone
bill that she will predictably refuse to pay for some odd reason.
Not that it really matters to me. I was teaching her some principles. Heck I funded her first $100 for a bank account but I am she has forgotten that as well. And now she is either showing me her hard-earned young adult principles or she is mimicking her mother's as she has learned them.
This is the cost of reciprocal generosity.
· It assumes that the other person is spiritual enough to recognize gratitude and humility and has the capacity to reciprocate
· It assumes that the other person has not experienced a difficult way of life that has caused her to renegotiate generosity into something different, something I don't understand.
· It assumes that the other person is aware enough to be able to account for their behavior and the impact that it has on other people.
Sometimes that doesn't exist in this day and age.
The wounds of the mother carries on to the daughter
I truly hope that I am wrong but as I tell this story you'll
see through documented incidents that this poor girl is being taught in such a
way that it leads to her own self destruction…
I do not blame her, I place the responsibility at her mother's feet.
It seems the only thing her mother could show her was how to get evicted and not take any responsibility for anything.
This is a preface to a larger story as I find the lesson that I am learning through giveaway…
