peacegirl, this is the kind of thing I'm talking about when I talk about warmed-over nonsense babble that speaks more about your relationship with your father than anything in the real world. |
Lessans wrote that he worked 8 hours per day for 15 years on his discoveries. That plus the job plus sleep plus billiards -- an activity at which Lessans excelled -- left little to no time for anything else.
I suppose it's possible that Lessans loved his children, in whatever pitiful, severely attenuated way narcissists are capable of such things, but he clearly didn't like them. Lessans was working on his discoveries during peacegirl's formative years. The only way peacegirl could get Seymour's attention, the fatherly attention she so desperately craved, was to immerse herself in Seymour's world.
Like many religious belief systems, peacegirl's unshakable belief in her father's discovery has its roots in unmet needs. Of course, there's something else at work here: if Lessans was wrong about anything, then all that time he spent working on his discoveries and ignoring his family was for nothing. That would be too much for peacegirl to bear. |
The sad part of all this is this IS one in a million. You have a belief that he was wrong, and that I was a believer based on sexual abuse. You're nuts Maturin. You are so wrong that it makes me laugh. I don't get upset anymore because I see the nutters out there that you attribute to everyone but yourself. Truthfully, you're one of them. Please don't respond. I'm so not into this kind of debate. It will go nowhere except to falsely give bravado to the loudest mouth.
