Let's move beyond the messy part ...beyond the soiled diapers.
Once our movements progressed past bowel movements, we advanced past observing what came to us ...to that which we ourselves could go to.
This likely became a bit concerning to our parents, as we could gravitate towards much trouble ...a tendency that would never leave us.
The trouble usually begins with physical danger, but there is always a tendency to explore new dimensions ...knowingly, or unknowingly, to undesirable mental processes; and inevitably drawing conclusions of potential spiritual ramifications.
But, to go back a bit, usually activities were provided for us (when we were children) to occupy our time within designated boundaries. The fascination of sight usually occupied a crib, or playpen. As our ability to move about increased, there was an introduction of toys. As we get older, arts & crafts may have been introduced ...to allow us also to make, build, or create.
These stages, or domains remain present s we get older ...but the boundaries move beyond that of a parent-child relationship ...as friendships are developed, and the more meaningful ones establish the boundaries with commitments.
But, the expectations of relationships often change, and the tendencies too often lead back to trouble.
