You reminded me of one of my favorite quotations, from St. Anselm: "O Lord, I believe; help Thou mine unbelief." What I meant by the post was that what we do reflects what we truly believe, not what we think we believe or want to believe. As a family law attorney, I don't pay much attention to what a parent says about how their children are the most important things in their lives. Almost every parent tells me that. Instead I talk about what their children's lives are like and how they interact with their children. If the children are in school and day care all day long, and if the parents when they do come home spend time doing things other than being with their children -- they they may believe that their children are the most important things in their lives, but the fact is that they aren't. If your children really are the most important things in your life, you find a way, some way, to spend major amounts of time with them. There are lots of things we say we believe or truly think we believe. But what we do with our time, the way we interact with people, what we DO, are the only true measure of what we believe. Does that clarify what I said? Is it what you thought I said?
