Adam’s Apple
Adam ate the apple and it got stuck in his throat. He could not swallow it because he was feeling divided. One half of him wanted to eat and explore. The other half was afraid.
To really want to grow, mature, and learn what life is all about, we mustn’t create anymore Adam’s apple. Life is for those who know how to commit – how to say “yes” and “no” to something decisively. Sometimes we commit to the wrong thing, but it is still good to commit because we can always get out of it the day we know that it is wrong. The very least we will have learned is never to get into anything like that again. It gives us a great experience and brought us closer to truth. So, do things totally so we can swallow them and digest them.
Do you think we should teach our children to commit to as many mistakes as possible with a condition that they are not to commit the same mistake twice?

i don’t get it…why didn’t he just cut the apples before hand?
People who live life fully make lots of mistakes we should teach our children to live in the moment and to live fully. Judi
Funny, all of a sudden I started to hear echos of yesterday’s news cast… “I am the decider…” Decisiveness, well maybe not lol!
Adam only took a tinsie winsie bite of the fruit that Eve offered him and then only so she wouldn’t Nag.
No. I wish children learn from other people’s mistakes so they did not commit mistakes, especially those kinds of mistakes that can kill them or ruin their lives forever.
hi!!! hope you had a good day today! I would hope my child would learn from observing other’s mistakes, but if she/he makes them as well, I would be there to help pick up the pieces and continue on. And, since it takes me a while sometimes, I would understand if she/he made the same mistake a couple times.
Who says they are mistakes? They are “learning experiences.”
Thank you for the love. I need all I can get, Judi
not “commit” to mistakes but communicate the mistakes before commiting them
it is better for them to learn on their own either good mistakes or bad mistakes.
One can never truly teach a child…
have a great weekend.
