Changing?



I saw a student at the U the other day, and he was standing outside one of the buildings, smoking a cigarette.  I was surprised at myself because my immediate thought was "Geez, that kid should not do that, and he should  not be so stupid."

That thought surprised me.  For all my life, I have not had a negative thought towards people smoking if that is what they choose to do.  To have that thought occur truly did surprise me.  I have been thinking about it on-and-off ever since.  When I have been smoking my pipe, I realize, I have been thinking of myself as a stupid fool and idiot also, at least for the last several months.

I am thinking I do want to quit smoking a pipe for good.  I have not done so.  Now, how to reconcile what I want to do with what I actually do.

    It is tough to quit even though I now have a hard time breathing at times, I've managed to cut back a lot but haven't managed to quit yet.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
