There have been some things that I have said or have done in my past that were not the kindest or well thought out. Usually I feel a great deal of remorse and regret for putting those ugly or stupid sides of me out there.
I would guess that most people in the world could write a statement like that and it would be true about themselves. But how often can we say that we feel that much remorse and regret for doing something truly out of the kindness of our hearts?
Recently I believe I might have hurt someone close to me. My intentions for the gesture were good, honestly good. But sometimes even a well intention-ed gesture can be an offensive one.
This is something that I like to say from time to time when the situation suits, "You're not really helping if you're not really helping."
What I mean by that is ... if you don't help people the way THEY need help, then you are not really helping them at all.
It's hard to know how to end this post because I still feel so bad ...
