what did you learn today?

Awesome. I recommend studying psychology bc you seem very psychologically minded.

Haha, had that very thought earlier today whilst doing a programming assignment actually. "Damn I should have done psychology". It's something I can certainly relate to, with very real benefits when applied in a practical manner. Quickly shaping up to be something I'll be looking into where possible though.

Weeding out what's our parents/society's expectation, hopes, distortions, and other-ascribed personality and roles with what it more 'true' for self is part of individuation process (becoming a mature, independent person).

Right. I'm sort of seeing it as pretty much 'unlearning what has been learnt'. It seems the task tends to be incarnating, growing to the capacity of where one is self sufficient, and then undoing those 20 years of conditioning/programming (Or whatever it may be before one engages in the inner work consciously). Those that do and decide to have children can be said as doing a great service to those potential offspring as well should the prior distilled learning be applied.
