| But by a woman psychoanalyst who, psychotherapist, I think psychoanalyst, says, don't take your mother for granted and spend time with her, care for her, contact her, and of course the same, I would add, for fathers. | |
| Just a few of the comments in the comments section. | |
| Following the article. | |
| Message from your mother. | |
| She forgives you for not being there at that moment to hold her hand because you took care of her all those other times. | |
| Dawn F. It's very hard to forgive oneself that. | |
| I wasn't the daughter my mother wanted or understood. | |
| There was a chasm between us. | |
| Neither of us can get across. | |
| She died decades ago now. | |
| I kick myself for not taking her out shopping or to lunch occasionally. | |
| How hard would that have been? | |
| She writes, phew, what stupidity. | |
| Yes, I kick myself for not taking her out shopping or to lunch occasionally. | |
| How hard would that have been? | |
| And another comment by a woman named Grace Hinton. | |
| My adult son called me today wanting some advice. | |
| Best Mother's Day gift I could ever get. | |
| And the final comment I'm reading to you from a reader named Deborah Wright. | |
| Agreed. | |
| It's a gift when your adult children ask for advice. | |
| It makes you feel wanted and respected. | |
| Our Western culture isn't good at respecting elderly. | |
| When I read that, I thought of the portion of the Torah that Jews all over the world read this past Sabbath. | |
| Jews divide the Torah into 52 readings for the 52 Sabbaths. | |
| This one was from Leviticus. | |
| 19. And it's a fascinating law. | |
| You shall stand up before an elderly person. | |
| Isn't that interesting? | |
| Of course, the Bible is quaint at Harvard. | |
| Jacques Derrida is in. | |
| Leviticus is out. | |
| Correct? | |
| Yep. | |
| What are you thinking? | |
| I know your face. | |
| How did Jacques Derrida get into it? | |
| No, he didn't. | |
| I'm saying, who do they read? | |
| They don't read Leviticus. | |
| Yeah, they read Jacques Derrida. | |
| They read the post-modernists. | |
| Our Western culture isn't good at respecting elderly. | |
| How many kids are taught? | |
| I was taught. | |
| I'm sure, were you taught? | |
| I'll bet you were taught. | |
| If a person older than you walks into the room, absolutely, right? | |
| I mean, to this day, it never ends. | |
| But who needs that quaint stuff? | |
| Okay. | |
| Well, look at the Hitler Youth that they produce at our universities. | |
| They are our version of the Hitler Youth. | |
| They're not the same as the Hitler Youth. | |
| They're our version of it. |
