Before reacting to something make sure that you understand what it is that you are observing. Than make sure that you are ready for the responsibility for your own actions in responce to what you observe. And remeber we are all human with our own minds and flaws and mistakes, if you are goind to be a hard ass to some one than you better be damn

just remember how rare it is that some call you on being wrong.

yeah, i know. I don't try to always be right, I swear. It just always seems that I am. And I got to say that is not always a great thing.

I love you, my darling.

Your first statement is solid. Sometimes it's hard to control your initial response to something. But it's good to acknowledge that you are responsible for it, no matter how hard it was to control.

And that second thought is flawed. Sometimes no one ever tells you you're wrong because the idea of getting into a discussion about it is exhausting. Or because popular opinion is on your side and they don't want to fall out with a group of people. Or because they don't care enough about whatever it is you are doing in particular. You can be wrong for a long time before someone finally says something. And then you of course have the option not to listen.

You are right the second one is more onesided than the first. It is the prospective that many people have in their actions. IF no one ever comes out and says why they think it is wrong, then that person's actions can easily be assumed to be right by that person. Why would their friends or family that care for tell them what they do is wrong. They not wanting that person to do wrong do they? Those are some of the things that people think about.

Then as being that one person out from the group and thinking the other is wrong while all is for it, puts you into the first comment. Are you ready to carry the wieght of you decision for not saying something.

well you would ask them and try to find out what all they would be willing to let you in on.

the second: It is something that I kinda go by because so many people go along with what ever I say. At one point people took my word as law and that was rather scary cause I did not want that responsibility. I would like to be wrong sometimes because being right is not great at times. I always try to give people a chance to prove me wrong.

some people still do hon, it's not a bad thing. You're very insightful. I'd take your word over most because I know you think things out before jumping.

thank you I try... kinda

Edited....or rather..added to. :)

A contradiction to your statement...If you're not directly involved with what other people are reacting to, how can you be sure you are understanding what you are observing or that they aren't?

As for the second thought, I'd have to say you are correct. My father is that way. For that reason and that reason only I think it's a good thing that I'm often told I'm wrong, even when I'm not. :)
