Today, I am learning that there are all types of amazement. There is the one out of joy and delight. There's the amazement from others sheer stupidity.

And finally, there is the amazement out of complete disappointment.

Be amazed!

Well, time changes everything. Not in such a mood today, but the topic for me today is...Why?

Why do people take roles in life and then not live up to them? Why initiate authority in your life, in the lives that you affect and not take the position seriously? It is completely laughable to have yourself in a position in life and treat it as a thorn in your side. People will not respect you, they will not count on you, nor will they look to you as anything more than a complete idiot.

As a rule, mature adults do not follow orders. They tend to follow suggestions. So please remember whom you are dealing with.

Blame it on me

This morning was difficult, for many reasons. Today, my question about life is, why do people feel the need to destroy things that they do not understand? I understand that the unknown can be frightening, but why do people seek to destroy the unfamiliar and only realize that the thing that they destroyed is the one thing that they need most?

Case in point, I had a situation where I was accused of something terrible against my child. For years, I lived with the stigma that I was an outright horrible, cruel person and parent. That hurt me to the core. Only for the person that began the rumor to find out first hand that the presumption was wrong.

We as people need to think about what we do to sully situations before we jump to conclusions and initiate actions that can totally change the course of life. I now have to face people who do not know me, but believe that they know of me; and should I consider to have any relationship with them, I will need to calm their concerns.

But moreover, my major concern is me getting over the disdain that I feel for the person and thier actions. How do I get over it enough to resume a loving, trusting relationship? When trust is broken and destroyed, can it ever be restored? Can you ever fully respect someone that you do not trust?
