I have a sea of torn feelings...pulling me in each direction. I was discussing Barack Obama with some friends, and apparently the question had been posed to the political candidates: was there was anything that they wished they could take back, and have not said during their campaigning? Basically Barack (according to the person who was speaking -I didn't see it) said ..."blablablalba...Of course there are always things that a person wishes they could have done better...and there are always improvements that can be made...blalalalala...But basically no." And my friend said that it really makes sense in a way, Obama isn't the type of person who really ever says things that he would later be embarrassed about. He doesn't get overly emotional, he doesn't really insult people, he's just a stand up kind of guy. I on the other hand...seem to live my life in that zone of saying what I feel/think and it is sometimes regrettworthy. I've been wrong. I've hurt peoples feelings. It's so hard for me to live like a political candidate. I would (in theory) like to be more mindful, logical, and considerate about the kinds of things that pass my lips, but there's also something to be said for flat out honesty..honesty IN THE MOMENT....Anyhoo...I'm struggling with wisdom..it'll come. In the meantime...
