On Afterthoughts....

It is all well and good...
to "be present"....to be "engaged"...
In fact, I'd venture to Say even that its "mandatory"...
Having said that....
I'm wondering whether we actually ALLOW ourselves the LUXURY....
(Well...... the NECESSITY)

Yup...we DO......
We get "BAMBOOZLED" into situations and into CONTRACTS even !

HOW CAN WE ?

simply MOVE on....
knowing FULL WELL........
that we appear to be INDECISIVE, HORSES ASSES......
OK ?

IS IT ALL RELATIVE ?

What makes a traumatic situation real and not somehow sensationalized or exaggerated ? What constitutes real trauma ? Is it all relative ? I...
