More Than Transactions

I’m okay you’re okay I’m not okay and that is okay honour your parents but respect needs to be earned blind obedience kills childhoods and where right becomes wrong opposition becomes duty genes and hand me down customs un-reflected socialisation and traits are a wicked combination of templates for unexpressed emotions and irrational thoughts when defence mechanisms and blindfolded acceptance create no more than a chip off the old block on one’s shoulder to be okay is definitely not okay yet in a way it is never too late to have a happy childhood because adults can play and now I need to talk to my Selves just a bit because otherwise analysis becomes paralysis 07th September written with Eric Berne's concept of transactional analysis in mind
