you could have done something wrong but did you really do it?


Would you ever admit you are wrong on something you feel so passionately about?

Hindsight may be 20/20, but only if our eyes are open.

Maybe there was a chill in the wind that told us keep our eyes closed, we sensed that something difficult was in front of us.

It would be a difficult life, living in that darkness.

The early days, we'll fall, tumble, scrape our elbows more than once, but the orientation will come. But its still pitch black; there's no colour,
no accurate depth of the world. 
Everything becomes an approximation, but a gentler, kindler one than if we opened our eyes.

And see the disappointment and unhappiness that have been inflicted on the people around us because of something that we did.

And those whispers in our head grow louder.

You were wrong.

simply decide

faced with difficulty, we sometimes offer people excuses.

But we also offer those same excuses, and maybe more, to ourselves.

We blame the world, god, the universe instead of rolling our sleeves and doing the hard work of finding our way out of those difficulties.

One day, you'll run out of excuses to give out, even to yourself.

It'll be very sad if that's the only person left on that day to hear them

love

why don't we teach young people how to love?

Love is an overwhelming sensation. It's a wave of emotions that collapses over you.

The danger can be felt from the very beginning. You sense it, but the pull is so strong that you can't swim away.

Without advice, young people have to figure out for themselves how to deal with this situation. They grasp at straws, guessing out solutions based on juvenile beliefs and expectations.

Sadly, bad guesses lead to pain, trauma, and distrust that lasts years after the storm had passed.

A few good words could have avoided all that damage
