Just as the ocean can crash against the rocks, or gently kiss the shore, we harness the power to have an effect on the world, to shape those around us.

How true this is! And yet, most of the time we forget or underestimate the power of our actions (for good or bad) upon people and even places. I am so sorry to know your parents could not act better when rising you. But, at the same time, I congratulate you for being so strong and get along with the whole situation.

I am pretty sure you are not going to make the same mistakes with your beloved brothers.
