Grown Ups?
By cybrscrybe | Published | 3 Comments
What do grownups do? Can grownups stay up as late as they want and damn the consequences? Can grownups resist overeating and all the compulsive emotion filled guilt wrangling that goes with it? Do grownups have perfect emotional lives?
I made some remark at work about rationing my TV schedule watching and BW responded with something about rationing saying that I always figured that I’m an adult, I do what I want when I want to do it. (does this mean no excuses for what I do or I have the will to make myself do anything?)
It made me wonder about my relationship with my self, with this other inside of me. (Now we all have an other inside of us, don’t we?) Why do our others seem separate from us at times, a disconnect from the lives we lead or we think we want to lead?

I think being in harmony with your other self(s) would indicate good counseling. Having other self(s) would indicate a mental malfunction of some type. I don’t know for sure, let me check with my other selves and get back to you on that.
Or, or, or,
If you’re in perfect harmoney with your other selfs–you could be a socio-path. or worse.

It depends on how grown up they are… grownups our age can stay up all night.. but definitely pay the consequences… the same for compulsive behavior, this age pays the consequences…
If they have perfect emotional lives, they are not really living..
Us religious folks call that inner self the conscience — and if both selves are in harmony, life is easier, it’s when they are separate that the guilt feelings rule and effect the physical self. I think that inner self gets stronger as we get older… or are we just getting wiser?
