but how come ur not affected and even if ur, u still seem to hv boundaries and a gd head on yr shoulder. alot of ppl become fked up due to having such parents. i know i had a v unhealthy relationship with my mom up only until a few yrs ago only. like i would cycle between hating her & needing her validation.
an american prof whom i used to respect but subsequently hated taught me to be like a lotus in a dirty lake. let the dirt sink below. the lotus symbolizes me and i should stay pure and float above. he didn't practise what he preached, but i'm a very rational person. right means right, even if an evil person says so. as a rational person, i also understand romance, which is irrational. i will go the extra distance to chase a love interest, who can be a "bad" girl, but i'm also very rational and understand boundaries. yin & yang, good & evil, rational & irrational, even male & female, both opposites originate from the same source. you have to exercise either depending on the situation. and it so happens i'm libra, so these things somehow come naturally to me, though i can't say everyone born in this sign are like me
