Ecclesiastes 3

This year has been hard.

I've made some great friends. And lost most of them.

I'm starting to realize how much heartbreak I can take is limited. How do you keep your personality and not close off to the world? How do you meet a new people and not immediately thinking 'when is this person going to stomp on my heart?'

One of my co-workers pointed something out. Since we work so closely with death, we don't think 'we'll do it tomorrow' very often. We're always ready to be gone. Just like the people we work with were here yesterday and now are lying in front of us dead. I think that's why I'm so honest with everyone. About everything. There is no time to dance around subjects. There is no time for miss-communications. Don't go to bed upset.But with what goes on in life, how is that possible?

What do you think? Is it better to be completely upfront about everything, or to let issues play themselves out? Do you live like you have an infinite number of tomorrows, or do you live like you'll die tonight? Is there a right way and a wrong way to live?

I know that it's needed to let things play themselves out, but I think it's also important that you let people know how you feel. Even if the latter causes a little more strife in your life. It's also a question of will you actively take part of your life, or just sit by and watch what unfolds? There's a time for everything says the Lord.

Even though it hurts.
