That particular episode was so enduring to me and thought provoking, I thought of myself as the spirit who didn't understand everything but yet was kind and loving.<BR/> Another episode was, "The Magic Mirror." It was sad and overwhelming to me.<BR/> Though LIS only ran three years I still love watching those old episodes. It was about love and family. I know it was campy at times but the first season had many wonderful "moral" issues of the heart.<BR/> The heart is a wonderful instrument, yet it can also get you in trouble but like the tin man in the Wizard of Oz (another classic) I'd rather have one than do without.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-1169165237566552272007-01-19T00:07:00.000+00:002007-01-19T00:07:00.000+00:00"They didn't need anymore additions."Right.

I think it's kind of "karmic" as well. Many feel a "sacred duty" toward parents, and it is certainly what our culture teaches. When I was married, we moved in with my mother in law for 5 years, to "help her, and to be with her until the end." (she let on that she might by dying.) only it proved the end of our marriage, and she is vibrant as ever.<BR/>That said, some people just feel a very deep obligation to live with parents, and it really can't be judged, but it is not a mandate from heaven, thank God.<BR/>(honor your parents, yes, live with them forever, no).<BR/>Laurielauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01565665462686900338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-1168828865229360202007-01-15T02:41:00.000+00:002007-01-15T02:41:00.000+00:00And strangely, we'll most spontaneously say very h...And strangely, we'll most spontaneously say very hurtful words to those closest to us. Those most familiar, and usually most loved. As if manners vanished with familiarity. How many people talk to their loving wife in a manner they wouldn't dare displaying with a housemaid?<BR/><BR/>Some things should definitely be taught in school. Much more useful than memorizing how much steel Zambia produced in 1976, for example! One can live without knowing the first thing about Shakespeare or Geography (one can even become President of the USA!), but basic friendliness is vital in life. (Unless maybe you've inherited a few billion dollars, and yet it won't hurt you.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
