In the most anguished moments of my life times when my mistakes cause me strife I feel I deserve a birch wood beating to go unpunished would be cheating and then I recall that through it all with trepidation loomin' I am only human

Hey no one's perfect, from each mistake we make a lesson is learnt.

I don't believe anyone deserves a beating. We can beat ourselves up over the simplest imperfections but that is what makes us unique.

We ARE our own worst enemy. Thanks for leaving a note on my door, Tim.

Not as profound and humbling. We all have imperfections that we must accept. Thanks for reading, Danny.

I know how you feel; it says you're an honest woman. I like the honest way you have expressed it. It's almost as if I can hear you speaking. And I'm sure you always learn from your mistakes. But imagine how boring the world would be if everyone was perfect.

What a nice compliment, Dale, and it's very much appreciated. I long for a world like that, where we're all different but one in which there is no malice.
