I have a long history of mistakes, misconceptions and misbehaving. I may be perfectly imperfect, but I am also genuinely imperfect. There is a lot of room for improvement here.
I like to believe that I grow wiser with age. Wisdom reminds me that letting go of habits which do not work is a good habit to get into. Remembering which are which has a lot to do with my success.
There is a difference between trying to do better and just apologizing and feeling bad while knowing I have no real intention of changing. Paying lip service to things I have no real intention of doing is like trying to put out a fire with good intentions and empty buckets. The temple still burns down.
It is amazing how many temples I have watched burn, but I am becoming smarter as time goes by. Temple building is hard work and I am getting too old for it. Consequently, it behooves me to pay attention, get it right, become the wise one who gets to sit out front for a while before I have to start building again.
