There are some who say that it is impossible to do things for others without personal gain for ourselves. I do not believe this as it does not resonate with me as a truth. The truth always arrives with an “aha moment” and this statement does not provide it for me. Therefore it does not…
Something happened. I did it. The wrong thing in the wrong place at the wrong time. I know it. Others were affected. Perhaps I did not intend it but none-the-less it happened. I have done wrong to others and to myself. I have erred. I have caused pain and sadness. Others may have chosen suffering…
