Men's indignation it seems is more excited by legal wrong than by violent wrong the first looks like being cheated by an equal the second like being compelled by a superior.
I have had many occasions this year where I questioned and second-guessed my decision in a game but it comes down to learning from mistakes and being accountable for what you did right or did wrong.
I can always see what I've done wrong. I'm always learning. I'm the perennial student.
I never was good at learning things. I did just enough work to pass. In my opinion it would have been wrong to do more than was just sufficient so I worked as little as possible.
A lot of what I've been learning in the last two years is due to therapy - about my sexuality why things go wrong why relationships haven't worked. It isn't anything to do with anybody else it's to do with me.
People desire to separate their worlds into polarities of dark and light ugly and beautiful good and evil right and wrong inside and outside. Polarities serve us in our learning and growth but as souls we are all.
Making a wrong decision is understandable. Refusing to search continually for learning is not.
The President's speech suggested to me that were we to follow his leadership we will be in Iraq not for months but for years. I also hope I am wrong on this.
Leadership is about doing what you know is right - even when a growing din of voices around you is trying to convince you to accept what you know to be wrong.
Moreover as the leadership of the House confirmed last year the Administration remains opposed to a congressional resolution on the Armenian Genocide due to Turkish objections. This approach sends absolutely the wrong signal to Turkey and to the rest of the world.
