Isn't that the truth...I was drawn in right a way from 'harm is given, offence is taken'....

I hate when people overreact to words said in haste...its like, chill- get over it, and talk it out....but women tend to be irrational ;)

Fantastic idea, executed really well. You talk a lot of sense.

One of my husband's friends is this blunt guy who I'm convinced intentionally says something offensive when he first meets someone. Sort of a test I guess to see how they react. Honestly, I don't know how I reacted, but I seem to have passed whatever test he had, because I'm on of his 'favorite wives.'

Lol, okay I totally rambled off tangent. I meant to say this poem speaks to me, it has a gritty real world feeling, not the kind of zen master advice, but real world wisdom.

If that makes any sense at all!

Peace,

L&T
