I've found Les Mis to be a valuable teaching and learning tool in my life as well. As a matter of fact, a few weeks ago my T asked me if I'd seen the movie and then talked to me about the black and white thinking of Javier. He was so unable to accept anything outside of his own 'law abiding' thinking that when the idea of having compassion on a man passed through his thoughts, he couldn't bear it and committed suicide. One might say that Javier was unreasonably committed to his belief.

T said that I reminded her of Javier earlier in our time together. I've become more flexible- able to see better all sides of things, but that it had not always been that way. I suppose she's right. And I have to say I am so much a happier person now then I was when I was unable to see the grey.

For what it's worth Sannah- when I've read your responses to threads I've seen an open,compassionate person. Someone that is inquisitive and interested. Please keep posting. Love your insights!
