Condemnation by Negligence

"Its not fair!", how often have I heard this phrase through the years!  Usually by naive teenagers, much less surprised adults - at one time or another ...

No matter the youth, when they are caught on a test day - and they did not study but were goofing off - and shortly their grades will reflect their lack of diligence ...  Its not fair!!!!!

Two of my daughters were hardly the exception, more like the rule: hormonal, overly confident, their faith not their primary objective - and then comes pregnancy.  No, no surprises there.  It does not change the fact that they have a problem, a lifelong problem to now deal with.  Its not fair!!!!!

My youngest daughter just scored her first traffic ticket - 26 over the speed limit.  You should have heard how unfair this is!  After-all, she did not even know how fast she was driving - so how could she possibly be ticketed!  It was so hard to keep a straight face and suggest she just pay the $300 ticket with a defense like that!  Its not fair!!!!!

As I reflected upon this post, the responsibility carried by those whom played the odds and lost, those whom naively stumbled into Satan's arena, for example those whom served in the NAZI death camps, and then claimed no knowledge of what was going on.  For better or worse, the Allies executed and imprisoned quite a few for being either negligent or irresponsible, if not outright guilty.  Even this very week, yet another guard has been found, now 93 years old and about to be held accountable for his previous employment.  In Satan's realm there is no actual excuse acceptable when you are caught.  Its not fair!!!!!

And I finally thought about me.  Yeah, I remember, I contemplate, I never have found a resolution to the problem which would not present itself in 2012.  How could I?  I had to no ability to see nor even understand the problem.  And yet, that bothers me, I was created insufficient to even understand.  Today, I can see with hindsight how in the past I have unknowingly damaging people.  With the help of friends, I have been able to see the problem, but not understand how I played a role, except through sheer ignorance.  At least I know there was innocence on my part, but apparently I damaged one.  Does not make me any less responsible and all I can do is apologize in ignorance.  You know how to reach me if you want to.  And yes, that would be fair, to yourself at this time in your life and me, not that you probably care ...
