I have fallen prey to those same tricks before. I will again. I think anyone with a good heart probably has. Fool me twice...shame on me I guess, but sometimes I want to believe in the good that is also within them. My mother always says 'when people show you who they really are, look!'. I see wisdom in that, but I also hold hope for better in the future even when people make bad choices. I have done some rotten things in my time and I appreciate the forgiveness others have shown. It is a slippery slope. These are certainly difficult waters to navigate.
