Summary

This quote reflects the idea that individuality and freedom of expression are valued by the speaker's mother. By discontinuing the speaker's participation in being a "brownie" (which generally refers to a member of the Girl Scouts at a young age), the mother promotes the importance of nonconformity and encourages her child to think independently rather than adhering to societal norms. It suggests that the mother prioritizes her child's individuality and self-discovery over conforming to predetermined roles or expectations.

Lose/Win people bury a lot of feelings. And unexpressed feelings come forth later in uglier ways. Psychosomatic illnesses often are the reincarnation of cumulative resentment, deep disappointment and disillusionment repressed by the Lose/Win mentality. Disproportionate rage or anger, overreaction to minor provocation, and cynicism are other embodiments of suppressed emotion. People who are constantly repressing, not transcending feelings toward a higher meaning find that it affects the quality of their relationships with others.
