Consequences

Pain and pleasure are seemingly opposite ends of the spectrum and yet I found both today.

Almost as if I am living the simplest allegory of all.

A desire to please, and possibly a bit of vanity, led me to do something very foolish and the result was both predictable and worse than I could have imagined.

Wearing a pair of shoes to a school party has totally incapacitated me.  

I am not only in great pain, but I will miss something I was looking forward to very much.

And to top it all off, today was a perfect day in every way except that I was in so much pain it was hard to enjoy.

I suppose when one fails to learn a lesson over and over again, the consequences are bound to become worse.
