automatic self-correction

I love cool rainy mornings. It clears the brain.

Most of life is self-correcting. (maybe all, but I'm not sure). People get drunk and fall down...drive too fast and get a ticket....sneak around and get put to the curb. Why do we spend so much effort trying to FIX people, when the natural consequences do a much better job? When we gripe, threaten and bribe our loved ones to live by our standards, it wastes their time and our energy. Let them learn in their own way.

What about when the "consequence" seems out-of-whack huge and the "bad behavior" seems to be a tiny little mistake ? Let's tackle that one after another hour-long walk in the rain.

Be blessed. HAFFDAASO.

  1. Agreed! But, seems hard to let our loved ones go through the consequence.
