fostering scars that endure
empty place to fill

Karma!
U R so much the 'New Ager'/'Old Age Mythologist" Not calling you 'old' here! 
No...'fraid not! This kind of thinking is not my paradigm!

That's just arrogance. My belief system is just as valid as yours. It isn't 'New Age'! Buddhism is 500 years older than Christianity & the Vedas were written before Moses was born. In fact the 'bullrushes' story & his life story were stolen by the Jews from the Vedas after their contact with Indo-Europeans!
The Vedas are older than the Old Testament.

So true indeed
Often the adults by never looking down never see the sadness in their childrens eyes when they so try to get their parents atention and they treat them as if they arent there for as they grow up they to will treat the parents i9n the same way .Tell me at what age do the parents that neglect their children feel its worth the time to show love it breaks my heart to see this for their are far too many parents doing this today where their children finds the love they so crave out of the home so sad indeed
