If I build my life
on a house of cards,
is it my fault
or the wind’s
when a gentle breeze
sends everything
crashing down?
Falling Cards

And there is the big question…personal responsibility or the random forces of nature.
Agreed; I think sometimes we set ourselves up to be devastated when our opinions or beliefs are challenged even in very small, natural ways…then we get angry at others for making us feel upset or lost, without even considering that the problem may have been the weak/untested materials we built the foundation of our lives with.
Very insightful .
Thanks, Laurie!
