A very relevant posting for me as I've fallen through a number of trap doors when my decisions wavered. Another thought provoking piece. Sincerely, Brian

Thanks Brian, sometimes the damn things can open up so quickly, and catch us off guard, in hindsight it’s much easier to see these pitfalls, and perhaps learn, I’m also guilty for tempting fate, and have paid the price too, cheers David

David, this reminds me of Robert Frost's, The Road Not Taken. Excellent writing, and I love the rhyme.

Better the devil you know rather than cut corners that often ends in heartbreak or even worse. Tom.

Sure thing Tom, but try tell that to most of society today, everything is expected yesterday, but alas there is a price to pay, cheers David
