"I have a saying, "Parents are as mini-gods or sculptors. Their children they raise are a product of the words they use in communicating with their children. If the parents shower unconditional regard and love upon a child and give complimentary and validating comments to their children, then the parents in essence sculpt on their sculpting pottery wheel a strong, straight and beautiful vase. Such a child raised in these conditions is much more likely to develop a strong sense of self along with good self esteem. However the reverse is true. If the parents have issues and take these issues out unto their children with name calling and denigration the vase on the pottery wheel representing the child will be made stunted and warped. Such a child will more than likely develop a poor sense of self and poor self esteem."

Children are vases. Got it. Very profound.

I don't buy any of that "I'm a product of my environment or the way may parents raised me" crap.

The only sure thing is death. What happens in between is up to me.
