“A thick head can do as much damage as a hard heart.” – H.W. Dodds, former Ivy League President
Ever notice how, with age, some folks mellow out –revealing a welcoming softness to their once ego-driven, impenetrable personalities. Something shifts inside, and an Aquarian flow brings malleability to their attitude and actions. As their hearts warm and their minds open up, relationships are reconstructed, ancient wrongdoings are patched, and futures are mapped out with joyful participation. Oh, but then there are the finger-pointing polar opposites whose minds and bodies harden with the years, and whose acidic spirits strip the delight from all lifelines. The weight of their unyielding judgment and fear creates chasms that grow uncrossable, and they themselves- unapproachable and unlovable. If we’re to learn from others’ worn paths, mind this dichotomy with piercing attention. Countless people will cross your path yearning to connect with your head and experience your heart. Choose to let them in, and they’ll help gloriously shape your life.

Brilliantly worded and well crafted wording. I especially like this line: “Oh, but then there are the finger-pointing polar opposites whose minds and bodies harden with the years, and whose acidic spirits strip the delight from all lifelines”. So true, this entire Soapbox entry, that we recognize ourselves within it’s content.
