The Captain could take lessons from Barb's mother. This shrew tops the scale of being a horrible person. But she does prove a very good point that I would like to enlighten you about. Barb's mother gives here a prim example of creating ones own universe or reality. What she did was use her astrological charts to see that it was a bad time for Barb to travel. Now, astrology is good for looking into things of this type, but should be used as a guide. Instead of telling her daughter that she should be careful, for something bad might happen on her trip, this women manifested bad things to happen. Creating the negative experiences herself made the prophecy of the stars come true. Astrology only goes so far, but should never rule ones life. It should be used to aid you in the reality that you yourself are creating. Something small could have happened on their trip that might have ruined a day for them, but now this horrible person ruined the whole trip and injured herself. Both events were writen in the stars, Barb's mother chose which one happend. Or maybe something really bad was going to happen on that trip, but thanks to her no one will ever know.
Let this be a lesson for all of you reading this. Life IS what we make it. So make it good not only for yourself, but for those around you. Give it a try, you'll see.
