Back To Back They Faced Each Other

Have you ever felt so justified in a situation and then one sentence thrown at you took the wind out of your sails? Why does that happen? Is this game of blame we play in life something that we do to hide our own short comings? Feeling bad sucks. I do know that much. Working toward resolving the issue is a must. Why do we not dive in and tackle it? It doesn't go away. It might hide enough for life to go on as usual around it but it still lurks in the shadows. It comes back with haunting memories that may or may not even have anything to do with the situation at hand. Why is that? Insecurity, doubt and fear are three demons we want to exercise from everyday life. What's stopping us? A gesture made here? An ill thought out comment made there? We are the only ones that can change ourselves. We have the power to do so. So why is it we get going and all the sudden we hit the breaks and put it in reverse? We hurt more than ourselves when we do that. We hurt the people we love as well. What the hell is any good about hurting ourselves and those we love? Priorities get screwed up. We get selfish and feel we "deserve" something more and we just go for it with no conscious care or thought to who we're hurting. Life is too short. None of us has been thrust into this world with a set of plans in our hands and an expiration date. What we have today could be gone tomorrow in the blink of an eye. Why is it we can't seem to remember that?
