Cast the Dye

t is never good when 
one points a finger to
draft an assumption,
outline a judgment,
then draw and create
sketchy conclusions.
It is much wiser to
use a pencil,
for when you make a
mistake, 
it can always be erased.

Nice parable Mikki - The wisest amongst us are so, not because they have no hypocrisy in their lives, but rather, they recognize their hypocrisies and rectify them - with respect - J.A.B.
