you know, i never claimed to have all the answers or even want all of the answers. it is foolish to think that any one person could possess all of the answers for every situation they encounter. but i am puzzled and perplexed. when you weigh all sides as best as you can, you tread carefully in to uncharted waters and you truly look about to consider the havoc you could very well be wreaking if you take one more tiny step forward and things explode in your face any way - what do you do?
these are rhetorical questions and i realize that. it just frustrates me to no end that no matter how careful, guarded, sincere, honest, real, open, accepting, humble, genuine, honest, truthful, and authentic you are - the world has a different agenda.
so, in hind sight, the very best i can do is evaluate the situation, critique myself and make my choices accordingly . . . right?
- apologize and try again?
- retreat and vow to never step foot there again as long as you live?
- ignore it like it never happened and pick up the next day as if not a beat was skipped?
- acknowledge and move on?

"All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him."
