As I Ponder....
My mind has been so preoccupied since last Friday. Out of all of the thinking I have been doing, one question seems to be coming to the surface.
DOES "NEVER" REALLY MEAN "NEVER"?
The majority of the time a person says that they will NEVER do something...more often than not they end up doing it. But is there ever a time with NEVER really means NEVER? Is it possible to close yourself off to the possibilities so much that you really mean it?
Is it really fair to close your heart and mind off to that degree? I don't understand why a person would really want to limit their options in life.
Sorry for the rambling...I just have a lot on my mind to sort out and decisions to make.

"Never". If you put your hand on a hot burner, you'll never do that again... hopefully.
People who have been hurt or insulted or made afraid do not want to commit to doing the same thing that has produced a bad result. And sometimes people say "I'll never do that again" because it is their own inadequacies that they fear. Their own inability to deal with a situation, that they fear may have produced a bad outcome. Rather than causing themselves or other people continued pain, they simply close that part of themselves off.
Sometimes people say "never" and don't mean it. But sometimes they do. You can try to change their mind, but usually it doesn't work. The only thing that changes their mind is them... IF they ever do.
