I just read Flannery O'Connor's "Everything That Rises Must Converge." I've questioned this and fought with my parents but this story puts a final reality to my actions. My actions towards my parents are not. They are not what they should be. The character of Julian is me to and extreme. The sad thing is I don't know if thats me to extreme or not. The scene where he is imagianing himself totally seperate from his mother is something that is totally parallel to my thoughts at one time. I have thought the same thought. The thought that my parents are like a strangers because I'm so self righteous about my ideals and hatred of TV or whatever. This makes me question my ability to love my parents genuinely. Do I? Or do I pretend. What can I do? I must.
