Why is it that you can have success on many fronts, but lose ground in areas that should be easy to master? Even if I was able to unravel the mysteries of the universe I still wouldn't be able to provide any insight into the unpredictable nature of emotional responses. Emotions have such an uncanny way of sending everything in to either a state of chaos or an irreversible lock-down.
There was a time when I would type things on my keyboard in hopes that they would be prayers to God. I wouldn’t bother to turn the computer on. Instead I would let the thoughts vanish into oblivion.
I would like to tell you that if we spend enough time working things out eventually we’ll discover that there is answers to all that is unknown. Perhaps one of my friends said it best. “Nothing doesn’t ever not make sense.”
It was not that long ago that the world watched as Lance
Armstrong publically made his confessional to his priestess. I was anxious to hear what he had to say, secretly
hoping that he’d have something unexpected to say. I watched the first segment,
but I found the second so intolerable that I turned it off part way through. I can’t
say that I felt sorry for him, but at the same time I couldn’t help but wonder
about the nearly unanimous voice of outrage that the public has expressed.
When we take the time to examine human nature, we discover
that nearly every single person on this planet would do exactly the same thing;
if they thought that they could get away with it. The difference between lying
about what you did last night and lying on national television is merely the
size of the audience.
How could I condemn the actions of another, when my own are
criticized on a daily basis. People will
never live up to our expectations of them.
I believe that this is a true statement, but it also reveals a coexistent
dichotomy. - I find that since my comments on CBC news articles are
consistently reported as abusive, instead of commenting at all, it is more
rewarding to simply report all of the typos. Grammatical errors are much like
the guy who cheats on his wife; the problem doesn’t go away, unless there is a
course of corrective action
I recently had a conversation with a man who told me that even
though his son is in jail, it doesn’t mean that he loves him any less. There is
something special that his Father sees that many do not.
The sentence that the Judge delivered
will most certainly have an effect on his life, but only in some ways. It is
still the responsibility of each individual to walk out of the courtroom and
decide to make the most of every single day.
An elderly man in our community offered to let my sister set
up her business in his building without having to pay rent for the first
several months, as his way of helping her get on her feet. There’s something so intriguing about how and
why someone would offer to help a complete stranger.
