Second Guessing

Second guessing can be dangerous.  If a surgeon second guesses themselves it could be fatal.  Luckily for the most part, when I second guess myself typically it only affects me or my writing.  However, sometimes just every once in a blue moon, second guessing myself can prove dangerous.  If I give someone the wrong identification on a plant or an animal could prove fatal or put someone in harm's way.  If I honestly don't know the animal or plant that someone sends a picture of to me, I make it my point to reach out and get that plant or animal identified.  Yes, sometimes, I have second guessed myself, and maybe, it could have caused bodily harm.  But I believe that I was right in one certain ID which I won't go into details but about the id.  Without going into detail, I had someone tell me that my ID was wrong, only to find out that I was right.  The animal in question is in fact something that can cause major health issues.  It's not an ID that I wanted to be wrong about, In the end, I reached out to someone because I didn't trust the other person's id.  It wasn't about me being right, it was trusting my gut.  Something that I'm not always good at, but I'm learning to trust myself.

Adding To The Voices; My Thoughts on Las Vegas

Imagine being at home minding your own business when a friend sends you a video of a shooting that has taken place in Las Vegas.  I was scared totally scared for the people who were there being shot at and for the family members as well as their friends who lost loved one's that day.  I'm saddened, that by a country who immediately turns everything into a political show with the democrats saying one thing and the republicans saying one thing.  I'm tired of the left saying one thing and the right another.  It is what it is, regradless of how it played out, people died.  We should be mourning their deaths and praying for those who are still in the hospital.  We shouldn't be displaying the killer's picture or mentioning his name.  His guns and ammo should be destroyed.  I think it's fitting that flags be at half mast.  There are so many stories from survivors that all you can do is cry and pray.  In the meantime, my hearts goes out to the heroes, the men and women who lost loved ones, and the those who are now in heaven with those who they loved that past away before them.
