You and I are similar in several ways, but I like your approach to life because it really makes me think.Some people's destinies are to be the fuses of life and dependably fail at the exact right times and places so that bigger problems are avoided.
My father, who worked for an air compressor manufacturer, had a sign over the parts counter for years that stated, "Air is free... until you try to compress it."In it's most basic form everything in life can be found for free. It's the conversion to make it into something useful that costs.
I hope you didn't just now realize that your whole purpose in existing was to always fail in a predictable manner in order to prevent greater problems from arising elsewhere?You and I are similar in several ways, but I like your approach to life because it really makes me think.
No, you reminded me that people put themselves in little boxes and I should be aware of that. To me, everybody I meet has infinite possibilities until they open their mouth and start limiting themselves. The fact is that most people have already circumscribed their lives and their identity. They see themselves in a fixed role with limited options. They act according to the role they believe of themselves. A person who believes he can't learn math, can't. A person who believes they are a victim will play out that role, regardless of how they are actually treated. These are only a couple of roles people play. I need to remember to accept what other people have decided their limitations are.I hope you didn't just now realize that your whole purpose in existing was to always fail in a predictable manner in order to prevent greater problems from arising elsewhere?
So I tend to tip your box over every now and then huh?No, you reminded me that people put themselves in little boxes and I should be aware of that.

It has been a long time since I was a councilor and the lessons are fading.
Yebbut...it's good for me, and it doesn't take me a minute to realize it's good for me. Thanks for rustling my grates.So I tend to tip your box over every now and then huh?
That's right. I'm not perfect and I represent all Americans. Eighteen months ago, I confused compliment and complement.I think you mixed up counsellor - what you meant- with councillor, a member of a council. HP is having a profound effect on us all!

It has been a long time since I was in grade school, and those lessons are fading, too. I make a mistake in spelling almost every year.
Whew! I'm so relieved that I don't have to carry that responsibility by myself!Amateur. I try to make a mistake in every sentence. If not spelling then at least in grammatical or punctuation.
