When we mention the mirror, the first thing that comes to my mind is that the world we see is a reflection of our thoughts. Congratulations on your life thoughts project and I wish that readers find inspiration in them.
It is lovely to see men who are not afraid to explore a more sensitive side. And I think your mom would be honored that you are still thinking about a book that meant that much to her.
Life is sensitive — we should all explore life to become familiar with its possibilities, and to push the boundaries. It starts by observation.
I did write an article, long ago, while she was still alive, where I cited one of Patience Strong's poems. My mother was the only family member who has ever read anything of what I have written, and she noticed this and was indeed very happy to see it.
As for me, I find it almost mandatory to try to understand what good people see in the things that mean a lot to them. While it is common to reject such things as "their ideas", they could actually be the key to unlocking the secrets of the universe. We will only know that if we study them. In any case, this will teach us something about the individuals and about the human mind. In all cases, we gain something important from it.
I don’t know why they are not reading it - they completely ignore the existence of my writing, never read it, never speak about it, never react if I send them a link. It has always been like that. Same with most friends and colleagues, btw.
Thank you. It may be something out of the Jante Law, in the sense that if I was born a slave (a worker), I must remain a slave and never try to stick out my nose into freedom.

It's true. We can learn a lot from someone based on what they hold dear. If it's not too much prying...why doesn't your family read what you write?

That's odd. Well, their loss, honestly.

I, for one, am grateful you escaped.
