Foibles and fables

Writing is one of my favorite ways of emptying out the trash.

Sometimes I need other people to read it and sometimes it is better that they don't.

Venting is one of those things often better done in private.  For two reasons:  One, it could be one sided and unnecessarily hurtful to other people.  Two, it probably wouldn't change anything anyway.

The foibles and fables of any given life make it possible to walk around with our heads up and our feet planted firmly in our own private fairytale.  Trying to take that away is both futile and mean.

I don't set out to hurt people and I have to believe others are mostly the same.

We are who we are, no matter the reason.  Learning to live together in peace and with respect for our differences is the challenge of my life.

Sometimes it is a bigger challenge than others.
