I have been using this saying a great deal in my practice lately. If we really really think about this analytically, it's message is profound. In kindergarten we are taught the basics of interpersonal relationships. (i.e. "Keep your hands to yourself", "Wait your turn", and the EVER-SO-POPULAR, "Treat others like you would want them to treat you."
Why is it that once we become adults, get married and become parents, that we no longer remember what we learned in kindergarten? Why do we spank our children, interrupt our spouses and children and then refuse to respect them all while treating them like "dirt?" Just a question?
We are all guilty of these shortcomings, (myself included). Let's get back to the basics that our kindergarten teacher's taught us about before nap time. And why don't we still take naps? Another brilliant concept taught to us as children that we have seemed to forget.
