I hear you; it bothers me that a lot of this stuff is labeled “good habits” with no thought of the energy or insanity behind it and turns one into a human doing instead of human being……Re today’s strip: Here’s a revelation: Junior could be honestly expressing his feelings. What a concept. (FWIW, if he isn’t just doing that, Betty and Bud may have created a monster. As you can see, I don’t much care for mindgames, too many decades of them in my past. No one ought to be playing with that kind of stuff; see a 4-page short story titled “The Weapon” by Frederick Brown, it applies to intellectual warfare also.) Also, I wonder if anyone ever considers that the guilt exists in the psyche of the recipient only; no one can sling guilt onto another unless they are trained to receive it. As I was. And it doesn’t retrain easily.(BTW, The Weapon, a super quick read at 4 pages, can be found here: http://sussexhigh.nbed.nb.ca/jjohnston/summer_school-07/The_Weapon_text.pdf)
