Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

Get It Right!

What specific character traits do you want to be remembered for?

I hope anyone who remembers me remembers me accurately. I just finished reading The Red Tent by Anita Diamant. It is a historical novel that depicts an elongated history of Dinah the daughter of Jacob and Leah. It stirs up some controversial things about biblical accounts. According to Wikipedia, Most of the actions are considered fictional although the historical settings are very vivid. It interests me about how this book is influencing me to think about people's character traits. The authors descriptions of characters we read about in the bible are strong. It's the kind of insight I think about when I read scriptural stories.

I don't see how you can keep making inaccurate memories about someone unless you discuss personally with them about motives for life actions. That just does not happen very often unless you are a closely knit friend even if you are related. There are people who are terrified about saying anything about someone who has died? Actions have some kind of reason behind them. Sometimes bad actions can be remembered but you don't know why a person would have performed the actions. What forces drove them to one action or another? Good character traits can be over ridden by forces in life. Bad traits can make someone see the error in bad actions.

I'm in favor of a round table discussion of dead relatives to make sense of what life is throwing at the living. I'll probably regret this idea.

I'm not sure even which ones I really have. I'll probably be described as a character. . Just so, I''ll list some, honesty, loyalty, positivity, productive. , Are these traits? The down side would be angry, loud, misinterpretation. I can be these sometimes.

Sincerely, I think?
