*Perhaps both the most difficult, and the most necessary component of being human is the capacity to both acknowledge and feel emotionally troubled about our own mistakes, intentional or not, and to offer the necessary apologies for those mistakes. Whether or not the origin and cause of the error is apparent to the one responsible, their personal catharsis still requires the apology to be made to the individual or group wronged, to cleanse both the mind and soul of the erring individual, and to attempt to ease that of the wronged.

From apology and empathy come the glimmerings of compassion. And compassion, for all and none, complete and incomplete, is both a blessing and a curse that all people should possess. Empathy and compassion are the only path that all humans need to walk in life. From compassion comes understanding and caring - and if the world’s peoples understood and cared for each other, everything would be pure and new again.

Hard to say, but harder to live without saying. *

Tarnælion Andiyarus, ‘The Dreaming Mind’

rnLet myself speak for myself, and let that which is not myself also speak for myself, for all are parts of myself, for now, and possibly for eternity.

The friends that you have - cherish them. You never know when they might just slip away.
