Of Note

I just happened to be browsing and found this fascinating and comprehensive blog - http://thesplinteredmind.blogspot.com/. This man has taken disabilities and created not only a life for himself but hope for some numbers of others. You should take a look if you have a chance.

I found it worthy to mention because it made me think. Over the past few years I have eliminated many people from my life who were harmful in myriad ways. Some of those people have been easy to let go of - a few of those people have been very difficult to forget. Two men in particular have been in my mind every day. These men were ultimately divorced from my life for refusing to consider other peoples feelings in their day-to-day meandering. I was hurt by them over and over.
While reading The Splintered Mind I felt myself feeling empathy for these men. Is it possible that they have difficulty keeping their minds on track? Despite any desire to honor others - have they been rendered unable to control certain impulses or desires? And if so, is it for lack of trying or is it possible they have a similar disability?
Perhaps I will never know.
