I think I will spend some time to give my emotions there due, and then proceed as needed. But lessons I have learned
Never expect from another what they expect from you, it will often enrage them
People can at will diminish there own intelect in need, if it helps them prove a point
Peoples ability to avoid discomfort can move mountins at need
all the faults I see in others is as true for them as it is for me,
But quite often qualtys you admire in another prove to be paper thin at times
so reflecting apon that. what does it say of me.
alwase remember, the person who warns you of another, warns you of them self.

do the sands of the past not shape today?
How can the sands of the past not shape this day?
How is it one can live there childhood in a faith and not be shaped by it?
One could say that they carry none of it with them when they change faiths, But they still carry the lessons learned.
Every day is shaped by the ones before it, How can one say yesterday has not shaped them, becouse they are diffrent then what they were then?
How can people say that i had those values there, but now i am this.
so i am not shaped by what i learned then. I could think of no graver insult to the past.
And if one can insult there past as such, then this day you may someday insult the values you have today.
At times it is not a matter of the values you were raised with. At a point one must ask. If a person can cast of all of there values of there spirtual raiseing to do a job, Then one must question this. Do you wish this person to lead you?
Some of us have had to do that, And it is a task that only functions when it is done in the half mesure. When one can purly remove all there own values, One begins to becomes capable of acts that border unspeakable.
And when one becomes capable of the unspeakable, soon there will be a word for it.
I will admit there may be nothing new under the sun, as some would say. But as soon as something is forgotten, it tends to become remembered and all to often relived.
paths, be them all diffrent are there as a vechical of wisdom. They bind us to the lessons learned by those who come before us. Though the people who come after me may choose a diffrent path,
IF they do so becouse they found the path they were called to walk
then all i ask is they live there path to its wisdom, and forget not the values they learned in the path they left.
The lessons you learn from your paths faults. at times may be the dearest lessons of all.

Odd encounter today:
I drop some change in Hess in carlisle Pa.
Person next to me stoops to pick some up to.
He pockets what he picks up,
I look and say nothing at first for a moment to ponder the value of $0.15 cents.
I ponder what the value of the moral impact of this event is and then decide to act.
I then say in a tone of admeration "WOW!! what an asshole, i drop some change and you stoop down infront of me to pick it up and pocket it"
the guy reaches into his pocket and pulls out some change and proceeds to say "i have change"
I reach into my pocket and pull out a quarter and toss it to the floor and say "its all good, here have another"
I can respect the Gall it took to blatently do that, although it is a petty amount of currency. IT was still done in a store full of people and infront of the person who droped it. I understand the other person was from oversea's. And things might be diffrent were he is from...But in this chunk of dirt i view it as him enableing me to be a jackass and I thank him for that.
Quite frankly I am more offended at the exploitation of social norms to get away with thieft, then the thieft its self. It pains me to relise that our culture has gotten to the point were One can conduct thieft in view of everyone. And count on peoples indiffrence (just mind your own buisness) And the cultural apathy (meh, its not worth it). What offends me is not the act, But that people can use our cultures apathy in such a way to exploit it. Its not the change out of my pocket. Its that understanding the common person has of that social meme that worrys me that it may someday break my leg.
