The Dilemma with Insights.

Reading people, their hands, their energy is not an easy task. The information you pick up from time to time needs great consideration. Similar to the circle of life in the nature world, the situations that surround us have a direction, and purpose in the events of our lives. A reader must determine what information is useful, and beneficial for the individual.
This is far from easy, and mistakes and poor judgment can affect the whole circle of life surrounding that individual. I have learned over time that one must be cautious with the delicate balance of human existence. I have not acted on insight when needed, and acted on others that I should not have. Here are some true events of missed opportunity and poor judgment.
A few years back, I was Christmas shopping at Toys or Us. I had passed a lady going in to the store who's energy had troubled me. She was full term in pregnancy, and her eyes spoke volumes. My mind was fighting my rational self, as I felt she needed to talk, she needed a friend, and I needed to be there for her. I struggled to shake the urge as I was in a hurry to get on with my shopping. I shopped for a while my mind fighting me to find her, to help her. I felt she was in trouble. I ignored it. As I was leaving the store, again I came face to face with her, her eyes pleading with me for assistance. I forced myself to walk away and go home.
Later that evening on the late night news I was watching, this women and her boyfriend we're arrested in the city for kidnapping her three year old daughter. They we're from the United States and had taken her daughter from her Mothers house whom had guardianship. The couple both had drug problems and she was nine months pregnant with a second child. They had stolen a motor home and driven up to Canada. This was the very lady I had seen in Toys or Us. This was the very sad women whom if I had listened to myself and taken the time to reach out to her, the situation could have truly been altered for the better.
I still think about her, I have sadness and regret that I did not respond to my urge. I was angry at the news too, as they had taken a sad, lost individual and turned them into a media monster. I seen her pain, I read her mind. She needed a friend, guidance, support and compassion. I failed her and it destroyed her.
