>What we owe to ourselves I'm sure varies from person to person - for me I owe myself doing what I need to do and what it takes to find, embrace and have contentment, acceptance and effective coping.
What I owe to others - for those who are loving, supportive and long suffering with me, I owe them an expression of appreciation I cannot hope to fulfill but I need to try. For those who have not meet those characteristics, I owe them the respect of their choices and the allowing to them the ability to leave me alone sans my distaste and my gift of leaving them alone.
In my life I have taken more than I have given but I'm not done yet :)
