Feelings an adult wouldn’t feel if a sound maturity had occurred...

Read something that really triggered feelings and thoughts...

The American therapist Jean Jenson writes that certain feelings/emotions – like abandonment, being expelled, insufficiency/inadequacy, deep dependency, that one is “mean” or “bad” or feels shame – are experienced now, in our adult life, ONLY because we couldn’t feel these emotions as children. These are feelings adults wouldn’t have if a sound maturity had occurred.

Independently of the actual circumstances, these are always OLD feelings, when they are experienced in adult age.

I think she is right, but this doesn’t mean we can’t or don’t have to understand the adult feeling/having these emotions!!!

Not so high demands…

The Swedish artist and author, Ulf Lundell writes in his last book “Vädermannen” or “The Weather Man” that young women don’t put so high demands according to the book- reviewer Yukiko Duke. He has had love-relations with many younger women. The last and present is 33 years younger. Lundell is born 1949.

PS. On the balcony I read in the book "Morality for beautiful girls" (the Swedish edition) about RTO - The really terrible orchestra in which Alexander McCall Smith is one of the musicians (bassoon or fagott in Swedish), as his wife (flutist I think). A visit to his official home site is recommended!

Addition May 30: Does he prefer women not putting so high demands? I can't help wonder "why?"
