So our troubles, we think, are basically of our own making. They arise out of ourselves....."How many times have I made a decision that 'seemed' like a good one--until it played out. And then I moaned and groaned about the end results and pointed fingers at everyone BUT me?
Ooops......missed that one? (hardly........LOL I just loveeeeee to escape responsibility if it's not comfy and warm and 'good feeling'!)
Gotta love the Asian Lady Beetle--it's the example of 'our trouble being of our own making'. It sounded like a good plan to introduce a bug to get rid of a bug. Looks like a lady bug...acts like a lady bug...but it is NOT a lady bug!
It was a good plan....until it played out.
Can we get rid of the darn things? Nope. They're an irritant and a nuisance--hardly a danger unless one lands on you, which they frequently will when they're driven from the fields cuz they don't want to die.
But our 'intentions' were GOOD, dangit!
My intentions can be darn good, driven by pure motives. And STILL the end result may still be a stinky nuisance that affects a whole lot of people.
*sigh*
So I'm walking myself out of a moment with wisepersoninmylife and one of the darn bugs lands on me.
Did he HAFFTA take that opportunity to point out the similarity between my whining and the darn bug?
I KNOW my troubles are of my own making, darnit!
*grumbling*
EVERY moment contains a lesson--that's what makes life "fun"!!
*rolling eyes*
I can KNOW that and still not wanna haffta deal!!
LOL

my troubles are all my own making
I know that
(so desperate to add a bit about other people's troubles being made to be mine, but I'll focus on sorting my own shit out shall I?)
(hey! see, WWW's boundaries are kicking in, aren't they?)
oh g*d, I'm having a conversation with myself in your comment stream
sorry mel
i'm not sure "fun" is the word i'd use
*chuckling at ILTV*
Converse away!!
I figure it's my problem if I'm taking what other's want to hand off to me AS my problem.....one more time making it 'troubles of my own making'.
I'm pretty good at not shouldering blame when it's not mine to shoulder--LORD knows I have enough troubles that I DO create!
was it twain who said the worst decisions always had the best intentions? Hehe. Hmm might have been Wilde actually, coming to think of it
