For most of my adult life I have been under the mistaken delusion that the things I think and feel are important - wise - that they could benefit others.
I find, more often now, that most difficult situations are much better served if I just keep my feelings to myself.
How many of us go through life with good intentions, only making things harder for others? It doesn't make us bad people, just naïve.
I've been thinking a lot over the past couple of weeks, and that can be a dangerous thing. Thinking too much about any one thing can make the thing bigger than it might, in reality be. I am trying to learn from my mistakes in life. I don't want to hurt people. I don't want to lose people.
Remember that not everyone shares your experiences in life and they may not be able to appreciate, or even hear what you have to say. They may not care. It simply might be none of your business. These are things I know, but often forget. I needed to be reminded.
How many times do I speak up, and without knowing it, hurt someone?
I know we all make mistakes.
I will move on now - and keep things to myself.
