Hostage

Some nights my husband and I just sit and chat about what ever comes to mind and run with it. Last night I was telling him it is easy to forgive people for things they have done or I precieved had done. I have difficulties understanding why people forget the path they had traveled this far in life. I do not think we have to wear a sign describing all our indescretions and accomplishments but I feel that we should embrace them mentally as we walk our narrow path of life. How far back into our past sould we go? I think the age of reasoning, which is different for each of us. We should use these experiences as a template and a reminder of how complicated life can become. People argue that we must take in account our family history. I don't argue that but instead I respond that we are hostage to our genes but have the capability to develop our own history within the confines of genetics. It is resonable to have future goals but one must be flexible in thought and deed because to rely on these goals as rule may take you down a path of deadends.

The path we travel is narrow and winding

We insticntively follow that what lies in front of us

Some forget and close each door and throw away the key
