The heart begins to melt. We understand how little love the father got, how little notice. We take his childhood traumas into account. Psychological thinking though, however, rarely <i> enlarges</i> a father. Rather than seeing what he did, good or evil, we see what he could not help but do. ..."<br /><br />"Mythology helps us to see the dark side of our fathers vividly, unforgettably. Understanding that we and our father exist in some great story lifts us out of our personal trance, and lets us feel that the suffering is not personal to us."Sundeep Pattemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16864022386751179469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082470.post-20629722305831048852009-06-12T16:47:52.718+05:302009-06-12T16:47:52.718+05:30Hi.

The Kafka museum there had quite a few excerpts from this letter. Overall, the museum was brilliant and the most fascinating I have visited anywhere.Chanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07671995266567113916noreply@blogger.com
