Everyone has thoughts on how rehabilitation should be addressed, let me hear your views on this subject. Please do not limit yourselves and include Anger Management, Substance Abuse, Parenting, and Domestic Violence.
"Once there was a man who was so troubled by the sight of his own shadow and so disturbed by his footsteps that he decided to get rid of both. His method of escape was to run away from them, so he got up and ran. But each time he put his foot down, there was another step and his shadow had no difficulty at all in keeping up. He blamed his failure on not running away fast enough. So he ran quicker and quicker until finally he dropped dead. The man did not realize that if only he found some shade, his shadow would vanish, and that if he sat down quietly, there would be no footsteps." The story illustrates with great humer the fact that all our strategies for finding peace by running away from things do not work. Meditation means finding that quiet, shady place where we no longer run away from shadows of footsteps. Peace can only be attained by "taking the one seat."
