Fools

Fool-A person lacking in judgement.


We've all at times felt like a fool or have done foolish things. Sometimes we just lack good judgement in life. There's an old song that asks the question Why Do Fools Fall In Love? I read in a book recently that if we remembered the pain of each of our lost loves we would never do it again. Isn't it funny how some things that hurt so bady at one point eventually fade? I'm not saying you don't remember it, but the intensity is less. The scars remain they just aren't tender to the touch. Yet, when you take a chance and try to pursue love does it really make you a fool? Isn't that what life is about? Taking risks? Taking a chance? Being hopeful about the possibilities? Who ends up being the fool in broken relationships? I've been thinking lately about things that we say no to or turn down. Do we really know what we are missing when we say no to something? We pass on jobs and boyfriends when we could really be throwing away the opportunity of a lifetime. Sometimes we make snap decisions or let feelings of fear dicate our actions. That's when we are foolish and sometimes our foolish actions or decisions hurt others. So, in honor of April 1st the day of fools, I think we should celebrate some of our foolish decisions. Like the time we decided to really put our selves out there for someone even when we felt like a fool and it didn't work out or maybe the time we were dumped and felt so foolish that we even thought about liking that person. Being honest and real and trying to make relationships work never makes you the fool. Maybe it's the one who said no to you that is the real fool. Not that they would probably ever admit it, because if they did wouldn't they look like a fool?
