"I've learned so much from my mistakes...
I'm thinking of making a few more!"
Haven't we all been there? If we don't learn from our mistakes, we are doomed to repeat them. They are there, our mistakes. The failures we learned from and the lessons they teach us. We don't learn from the things that come easy to us, we learn by the trials and tough times life throws our way.
Still some people live in a reality world of their own making. One where truth or consequences have nothing to do with responsibility or accountability. A world void of black or white because it is made up of gray matter. Half truths, omitted details and sugar coating are the mainstays of their home life. They thrive on deceit and take pride in taking advantage.
Our lessons are not their lessons, but that doesn't stop them from trying. They try their mightiest to take credit, talk the talk and run with the big dogs. Sad part of it is, they are way out of their league and only attain these heights, riding on the backs of others who have learned to spread their wings and fly. When they fall? It is a long way down with no hope of recovery.

And it always catches up with them in the end. Always.
ReplyDeleteLove the quote at the beginning. :)

ReplyDeleteVapid Vixen- And if we are lucky we either get to see it happen or hear about it later.
ReplyDeleteFern Valley- Ain't that the truth!
Dawn- Wouldn't it be nice if we could speed up the pace a bit?
