David Senra

Beyond his rage, he harbored a gentleness, timidity, shyness, and a dreamy insecurity.

These were all the things I were on the outside, and the reflection of those qualities in his boy repelled him.

It made him angry.

It was soft, and he hated soft.

Now, remember, he's writing this as almost a 70-year-old man.

He's thinking about his childhood through that experience.

He wasn't a child anymore.

He is now a father.

He actually has his own children.

And so he's contrasting.

He's like, why did my dad feel this way about me?

And he's got beautiful writing about this.

So he actually said on Howard Stern, he's got this great interview on Howard Stern that he did a few months ago.

And he said that his greatest achievement was not going into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, was not selling 150 million records, was not, you know, being unbelievably famous and wealthy and rich.

He said his greatest achievement was not passing down the problems of his family to his own children.

His greatest achievement, he said, was from breaking the chain.

Listen to this writing about children he has.

It's incredible.

Children bring with them grace, patience, transcendence, second chances, rebirth, and a reawakening of the love that is in your heart.

They are God giving you another shot.
