Very hurtful then to call his observations astute. It hurts me deeply by putting my observation in a category of minus. |
We're all different to a degree, but that isn't what hurts us. What hurts us is the disrespect that is shown by others to us because someone may be superior to us in certain things. That's where the words we use play an important role in how we feel about ourselves and the respect we are all deserving of, not just those in high places. |
But you respect your fathers observations so much more than mine! This hurts me deeply - you are valuing them more than mine, which puts me in a definite minus category.
