There is no shame in being the one who is tricked, it is only the trickster who owns shame.

Very good! "It is important not to suppress either side of the human condition." Yes, it takes both sides of the human condition to paint the complete picture!Gamnot wrote:Life is "bitter herbs" and "sweet spices." Life is like Beethoven's first movement of his fifth symphony; with the dire and tragic along with the harmonious and pleasant. It is important not to suppress either side of the human condition.

"All good things must come to a bend"
Mistaking the word "end" for the word "bend" adds more truth to the saying because it suggests that there never really are any end-points in life, just changes of direction.
But maybe my generous interpretation of this simple mistake is just parental bias.

Parental bias is what makes kids feel loved!
