Answers...

I am endlessly fascinated by the human condition and the dynamics between us... and I will always regret any disagreement or upset I may cause in my journey through life. We are all a work in progress and sometimes we need to go back to the drawing board. There may be no concrete answers out there, but I really like this wisdom...

"My first teacher, Chogyam Trungpa, used to talk about the fundamental anxiety of being human. This anxiety or queasiness in the face of impermanence isn't something that afflicts just a few of us; it's an all-pervasive state that human beings share. But rather than being disheartened by the ambiguity, the uncertainty of life, what if we accepted it and relaxed into it? What if we said, 'Yes, this is the way it is, this is what it means to be human' and decided to sit down and enjoy the ride?"

- by Pema Chodron, Living Beautifully

We all know life isn't easy. We continue to be challenged and we continue to be imperfect. All we can do is keep working at it and find a place of forgiveness for ourselves and others (and this seems to take much inner strength and courage, which we can't always pull off unfortunately). Hugs.
