I think some people just have that sort of thing in their nature.<br /><br />Thanks for the well wishes. :-)On Her Ownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01894266892388028703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1967553424227909925.post-73708426864394662362011-09-07T23:05:18.722-07:002011-09-07T23:05:18.722-07:00I any event (I had wanted to say this regarding yo...I any event (I had wanted to say this regarding your previous post also) - I hope you can find happiness and resolution in your life.

But it is any more fulfilling or "right" than the life "outside"? - I ask myself that question every day. Maybe I would have been happier had I left and pursued my impossible dream of seeing the world, or learning about things other than the "wonderful" words of Abaye and Ravah (any Yeshiva guy will know exactly what I mean). Alas - having opened my mind to actual thought and realizing that "the truth" is not at all what I was always taught - I'll never be able to close my mind back up again, and that nagging idea that something really great is out there for me will never go away.<br />So you see - it works in both ways. No matter what we choose - some of us will always second guess ourselves. It's ironic, but maybe those many who we all know who live in blissful ignorance (in whichever life they live) are actually the lucky ones?chaynobodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01555831452024893892noreply@blogger.com
