I was as perplexed and astonished by your apology as you must be in contemplating this image |
As hurt as I have been by your atrocities of yestermoment, I realize that the words you utter hold truth which pierces my soul. Believing your humility to be sincere, I accept your apology and offer my own. Let us rekindle friendship's flame. We'll throw rocks at wasp nests anew and consider life's intricacies from a vantage point neither of us could attain alone. With that in mind, allow me to relate an incident which occured to me earlier this week. I was in the local Wal-Marts when I noticed an apparently blind individual accepting the aid of a seeing-eye dog. A very young child became somewhat exuberant at the sight, ran to the dog and began petting its head and speaking in a loving manner to it. The dog immediately squatted and began to urinate on the floor dangerously near the child's shoes. The child and the dog's owner were both at a disadvantage concerning the taking notice of this event as the child was busy fawning over the dog and the owner was blind. When the dog's owner felt he had allowed the scene to continue quite long enough he began to move toward the breakfast cereals when his step came down upon the puddle left by his otherwise helpful dog and the unfortunate man fell to the floor and soaked up the majority of the urine into his pant leg. Now I ask you, where are my obligations to this situation as a mere passer-by? I eagerly anticipate the insight that only you can provide. Believe me when I say that it matters.
