If I had one thing I could change about my life so far, it would be this: I would like to have been a better, more caring, more compassionate and empathetic person. It takes years for a person to be comfortable with those characteristics, I think. I haven’t had them—and may not still..for long enough to have developed any level of comfort. My favorite wife has a way of putting it that just fits:
“If wishes were horses we’d all have wings.”
I love her for that.
I like the idea that “wanting to be a better person,” is a compliment.
Juan, that’s a truly memorable moment; when I saw the film, I was absolutely NOT expecting it!
Love your post, because it indicates the quest that I hope we all continuously seek: How to be a better man or woman!

Pauline, you are a generous, kind, very special person…thanks for your perspective. I appreciate it.
You shortchange your self, John. Or see yourself with different eyes from everyone else. I see you as caring and empathetic…
