I agree, it is not an attractive quality. And, I am sure that I have some measure of all the 7 deadly sins in my character. 

My oldest daughter is 23 and launching the next phase of her life. I sat with her this week. She is marvelous.

People occasionally compliment me as a parent regarding the quality of my kids’ character.

I am not sure if the next stage of my life will be to take all I have learned in the past half-century and accelerate the pace of my development as a person.

Or will I relax into the mixed bag of good and bad traits that comprise my character.
