I think there might be two different kinds of people with regard to things like this, and maybe even the circumstances of how things occured matter a lot too. So people like you and I rail against something that happens early in life with everything we have right? You were beaten, made a vow to never do it (for the most part). My example is being poor and not taking care of my money, I made a vow...and I will never fall to the levels I've seen in my parents. I just won't do the spending to let it happen.It’s hard for me to understand the generational thing. My old man thumped us up pretty good and I always said I would never do that to my children and I didn’t. I spanked my youngest son two times and it brought me to tears both times. But it neeeded to be done for boundaries to be established. And it worked. He was always a good kid after that. Like women that are raped at a young age and become whore or a strippers later in life. Makes no sense to me at all. Just kind of seems like an excuse and a crutch created by a bleeding heart psychiatrist or something.
I think the other half of people don't have enough positive control over their lives and themselves to make such a vow. Whether they're lazy or complacent or something else I don't know, but I seem to keep observing in life people let things happen that rationally just defy all logic...yet there they are, sitting in whatever situation it may be. I have a lot of trouble understanding shit like this because I'm personally so opposite, so I think about it sometimes.
