I just read my last blog post and I don’t like the way it makes me sound. It came across as a bit martyrish to me…and I think it’s a little misleading in a lot of ways.
First, I’m not as moral or ethical as it seems. Yes, I made the right decision in this instance. But I’ve also had instances in my life when I did not make the right decision. So they kinda cancel each other out.
I also wasn’t trying to make it sound like I was some super hero for sparing this woman from knowing the truth. I had just a second to decide how to respond and that was my instinct. But I have no illusions; I wasn’t really saving her from anything. It was before they were married and had happened so long ago that I seriously doubt the truth would have had much impact at all.
So yeah, I try to do the right thing but I’m no saint and that wasn’t really the point of the story. It was really just about how sometimes things come full circle in a completely different way than you expect. And about how strange it is when two people’s realities clash…
