Love is a many splendored thing. That’s a familiar American idiom that was even a 1955 movie starring William Holden and Jennifer Jones. Idioms have a way of encapsulating sentiment and memory but they fall short on substance because words are cheap.
I have always subscribed to actions speaking louder than any set of words ever could because I hate to sound hollow or worse yet sit in judgment of anyone else. Kristen reminded me of two AA axioms this morning: The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. The other is about putting someone else down in order that we feel better about ourselves.
Judgment is another that I find fascinating as well. I just saw my sister in laws husband in the club today and he ignored me totally. Obviously he has judged me as persona non grata and I for one am happy he is out of my life because, hell I never liked him anyway. And I don’t say that because the decision to ever see him ever again socially has been in effect taken out of my hands. He just was a mook and his holier than thou attitude just confirmed his self-righteousness. Good riddance one less imbecilic presence in my life. God does it feel good to have just said that.
