{another} Try This: Chapter 1, part 2

I don't want...

I don't want my children to be selfish. I don't want them to think that their way is the only way. I don't just want this for my children, I want this for everyone. I don't want people to be close minded. I don't want people to label others or themselves. I don't want my parents to call themselves "conservative." I don't want people to eat meat as voraciously as they do. I don't want to judge people or think that I have a right to tell them how to do something. I don't want to be hypocritical. I don't want to want to hibernate when I am stressed out. I don't want to find myself alone after years of life and marriage. I don't want to worry about the past in the present. I don't want to dwell on things I have no control over. I don't want to be envious. I don't want to worry about my hair/weight/abilities. I don't want my dogs to die. I don't want to forget who I am. I don't want to loose myself in other people. I don't want to take anyone for granted. I don't want to take any moment for granted. I don't want to stop learning. I don't want to be anxious, angry or impatioent. I don't want to grow up. I don't want to not want to grow up. I don't want to wish for things I don't have or want to be someone that I am not.
