I would love to get it right for all that have touched my life and me theirs. However there comes a time when I have to reach for my own “ripcord” and make sure my chute opens for a soft landing. Like they say on airplanes in case of emergency make sure you have your oxygen mask fitted before you help anyone else. And its one of the times where being selfish is the best choice of action lest we become helpless ourselves.
One has the ability to be kind without shooting yourself in the foot. You just haven't mastered the technique yet. Remember "what you sow so shall you reap". Selfishness is never a solution .
ReplyDeleteJB,
ReplyDeleteExactly how many people are you looking to "make things right" for??
You need not answer here. Perhaps if there weren't so many left in your wake, you might not need a ripcord at all.
