again how does this tie in when you always get burned for trusting the rightness of the moment?
As one who has been "burned" many times, I would offer only my understanding. Somewhere along the path there was a choice, and when we make that choice we get burned. If we keep making that choice, we keep getting burned, in a bigger more harsh way.
I lost my house, my employment, my friend and lover, and ended up in a basement room with next to nothing, my previous care free and elegant life ripped from me. How did I get here? It was in the choices I made over the last ten years. Each time I thought I had learned, I did the same thing again, in subtly varying themes. Each time I lost more, until this time I lost everything, and came to have to pay attention and learn. With my toddler daughter and my health, I have come to appreciate the moment, life, have awakened to my purpose here as a wanderer, and have a faith stronger than I could have ever imagined. Yet still I could make the mistake again, and have to be aware of it, for the next time I have but little but the most precious things left to lose in this world.
When it comes to love... my sister has always said I am foolhardy and charge in like a white knight, always trying to save the day. This... aspect of myself... I shall never change, and no matter what I lose, I shall always be that white knight, yet I have learned that it is not up to me to save anyone. Only the person them self can do that. Love I will never give up on. Control... I am letting go of.
