Disappointments
Expectations. They lead to disappointments when I let them expectations fill up with the hot air that is my understanding. They lead to disappointments because that hot air is only my understanding and nothing more because I haven't put in the effort to ensure that you know what my understanding is. I wonder what would happen if I was certain you understood and still let the disappointments happen.
About three quarters through the day today I was struck with the dilemma: how much do I restrict people. A dilemma that needs to be broken into small manageable details, for as a whole.dilemma it is just overwhelming. And once I have thought of all the people I possibly restrict I will be in a position to evaluate the restrictions I impose and decide if I am going to do anything about it. And then what about society in general, I can easily say I don't restrict society, but maybe I restrict society by not fighting the restrictions I don't believe in. Oh, what an overwhelming task troubling over freedom is.
