Knowing your own weaknesses does not necessarily cure them.
I am painfully aware of many of mine, and yet
I still fall in the pits and despair.
I have been writing a lot of emails to people I care about
and now I wait
impatiently
for responses
not really accepting the fact that people have lives, sometimes happy and full lives, that may not include an instant reply to mails from me.
I have too much time to worry about these matters and so, in the parlance of today,
I better get a life
and soon.
