I have been off the list for a few weeks now, for some reason I am not getting mail, tho I can totally access every other aspect of the list. So maybe I got lucky.....LOL Most situations are black and white. It is when we try to maneuver those situations to fit agendas that we get the gray smoke screens. That's where things get tainted. It is either right, or it isn't. I certainly have no problem with that concept. Now, you may do something wrong without knowledge. So when you find out you made a mistake, you recognize it, admit to it, and apologize, sincerely. Accountability. Lots of fire start but with the head of a match.

It was clearly a black and white situation. Given other scenarios, what is right and wrong is not always so obvious. We often use our intuition and what information we have to make decisions. That information is often tainted by the agendas of other people. Take da list, for example; I have quietly sat here for days reading post after post where people are blaming everyone for everything. Accusations are flying and, to be honest, I have always found that the old adage; "where there is smoke there is fire", is often true. What you may not know is just exactly how big the fire is. What we initially perceive as an entire forest burning down can turn out to be the head of a match.
