But you can use your interest in Dr. Laura as a stepping-stone to real psychotherapy. She or he who is without a wrong choice in their life, cast the first stone. After a lifetime of dealing with real people and their real life issues, I know none of us is perfect. We all make mistakes. Most of us strive to do good more often than we do evil.
Human beings are really quite amazing.
Deep down we long to love and be loved, we wish for acceptance, we want our relationships to work. Sometimes we either make poor choices or are on the receiving end of bad behavior. No one is immune from taking a path that with hindsight we wish we hadn't. I have a personal prejudice and fear. Extremists of almost any kind frighten me.
