Free Will
We blame our parents, our environment and the people we hang out with for making us the people we are today. But when we begin to take responsibility for our actions we will also begin to realize that what they did to us was nothing compared to what we’ve done to ourselves.
When our child’s mother asked us why we haven’t come to see our child, some of us have told her how busy we were. But what were we so busy doing? We were getting high, becoming slaves to our profession, hanging out with our friends or spending time with some other woman. And the same applies to money. When our child’s mother asked us for money for our child, we told her how short on funds we were, and yet we had money for new clothes, drinks, drugs, cd’s, a tank of gas or to take some woman out. Matter of fact, one of the reasons we didn’t see our children as often as we should have was because we knew their mother would ask for money.
