movie: my architect

I found this movie very interesting; it was crazy how he crossed out his home address. I wonder why he did that. Maybe he didn't feel like any address deserved to be on there because he was always traveling. This movie was hard to grasp for me because my dad has been with me for my whole life, but it kind of opened my eyes to wanting to learn more about my parents and take advantage of learning about them because I've known them for 17 years but I realized I don't really know that much about their history and what they have been through, I already made the mistake of that with my grandparents. I wonder why the ladies were okay with staying with him and having relations with him, did they think they could change him and get married to him. I wonder if he felt bad leading on the ladies, and for his children who never really got to meet him, and then he just left the world and they didn't get to really talk to him and understand how he is. I think this man didn't push any ethics onto his children but since he wasn't really involved and he was involved with different women so then they were subjected to ethics because they were tied to a ethical dilemma [being a single mom with a kid]. But I think by doing that he also broke out with doing what he wanted to do and not having to follow what society said was ethical and right.

I think that I get most of my ethics from my parents and family [grandparents] so I think not having him around gave them more of a chance to develop what they thing is wrong or right. Like I said in my journal I think your parents give you a foundation but I don't think you have to agree with it but I think a lot of the time the ethics they believe in sticks with you, at least it does with me.
