Dear Cali Chica:

If people practiced this distinction between short term gain and long term gain (payoff/benefit), there will be almost none or none of the following: crime, wars, corrupt politics, violence, child abuse, any abuse, obesity and morbid obesity, drug addiction, alcohol and drug related fatalities, and the list goes on.

If our mothers practiced this distinction, you and I wouldn’t be here, spending years in this healing process. If mothers understood how their daughters are so very motivated to do that “team-building, love focused, life building” with her, the  mother, and would aim at the long term goal, it would be the best team work possible, to the long term benefit of both.
