Website title:

The most humbling experience I have had to-date in my young life is being a husband. Through your childhood your parents provide for you this unconditional "safety net". Under their roof, I not only was protected physically but emotionally as well. I had this subconscious understanding that when the bottom falls out they will be there to soften my fall.

Moving out and on completely changes this understanding. You are now on your own. If the bottom falls out YOU have to stop your own fall. YOU have to protect yourself. YOU have to make ends meet. YOU have to think. It puts you in a different perspective than if you were living under someone else's watchful eye.

I think spirituality works in the same sense. You were born into a family and assume the traditions, religion, culture, etc. When you voyage off on your own, for your sake and for your new family's sake you must begin to define your own. I believe this is true self and spirituality. It is something that is constantly being redefined and growing with you. Not one trapped in a very old book that you cannot relate to.

Assyrians are trained to be scared. Trained to take the back roads. They still haven't "cut the cord".
