Learning lessons

Sometimes, it takes an experience of sticking to one's beliefs on a matter, to realize it didn't actually have to be so set in stone. Sometimes, it takes an experience such as this to realize there was another road available-- the one called, Compassion. And sometimes this realization occurs, not so that one can "go back" and choose again, but instead for one to remember the lesson, and file it away for present and future application. So, good luck with the lessons today. However you fare, hope you get something positive out of them. And good luck to you in advance for when they show up in future pop quizzes-- because they are bound to show up in future pop quizzes ;) wink emoticon
