"We cannot always place responsibility outside of ourselves, on parents, nations, the world, society, race, religion. Long ago it was the gods. If we accepted a part of this responsibility we would simultaneously discover our strength. A handicap is not permanent. We are permitted all the fluctuations, metamorphoses which we all so well understand in our scientific studies of psychology," Anais Nin declares.
As mature adults, we can revoke any imprints, reverse any patterns our parents programmed in us. We are not responsible for their actions or the actions of others, only for our own. We can accept that responsibility, make responsible choices for ourselves, and be truly free.
