sometimes i astound myself with how easily tripped up i can/have been. an idiot? too good a word. moron? please! moron is pretty base, but even i have known morons who exhibited more common sense than i have.
i have these many people inside me.
some are very careful, to the point of paranoia.
some are very open and giving, handing out "state secrets" with aplomb.
some are just like me, and maybe you.
i try to be bulletproof, and always fail, ending shot down in some blogland avenue.
i try to be all forgiving and wonderful, and fail, having my buttons pushed one more time by a person who is probably an ok human in any other context.
will i ever get it together? it is not up to us as individuals to make it work, i believe. but we try to pull together as a group to support good behaviors and to help tamp down bad behaviors when asked.
so the answer is as usual "i don't have a clue".
but i will try to let this tiny bit of self awareness guide me, and perhaps, just perhaps, things will get just a little bit better.
