Important Lesson
There was a quote I found appropriate for the current scenario. I also thought it would be a good quote to use in life. Maybe it can give a bit of insight into me, because it was something that stuck out as soon as I saw it.
Those who know do not talk.
Those who talk do not know.-Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
We are who we are. If I think that I have faults or someone confronts me about an issue with me, I don't talk about it. I take action and fix it. I am going to be the best person I possibly can and constructive critism is a part of that process. If I feel like I've wronged people or created any form of hostility between anyone, I won't sit and talk. I need to take action and know that I am responsible. It may be up to me to help the situation, so I will do everything in my power to help it. Maybe it's because I grew up without a lot of friends. It might be due to the location I grew up in. I don't really know. I do know that I want the best for everyone I come into contact with. If there is a way for me to facilitate that, I will. I don't do a lot of talking because I want to be that someone. As the old cliche goes; "Talk is cheap."
I will say, if I don't know what my next action is I will talk my way through it with someone. Particularly those involved. I don't want to leave anyone wondering. I do feel that closure and knowing the "why" of it is owed. So I won't just silently fade anyone out. I feel that you all are too important for that. And perhaps I may help your future friendships and relationships. Don't take that as me inflating my importance or any grandiose delusions there. I just felt that my intentions needed to be stated, as opposed to assumed. You know what they say about assumptions.
Lastly, C.U.C. is driving me nuts, but I love the stimulation and hope the results pan out. (MindFlurry ftw!)

You're right, Brent. Talk is cheap. Commitment and action are where the payoffs lie.

If all who know, do not talk...how will the next generation learn?

I've always been a believer in actions. Show the next generation, be an example for them to aspire to. The people I've always looked up to, lived in a way that taught me so much as opposed to telling me how to live.
