Tasting something good

You know I've heard it been said that the best way to identify counterfeit notes is put it into the hands of an experienced banker. Almost immediately the banker would tell you if it was fake or not. (Hey, I know they are other ways of doing this but I'm trying to make a point!)

Anyway, recently I have had to make some hard decisions. They were hard in the sense that I would rather not have made them, but after trying 1001 ways to avoid dealing with the relevant issues, it was time to act. The thing was this - these decisions involved people who kinda put me in a do or die situation. After begging them 1001 times not to make me do I had to throw it back in their face and say, "That's it."

The thing is, I have had the experience of good friends, and after that it would be foolish of me to rest my arm on the shoulders of a bad one. The bad ones are so easy to spot. Simple things like phone calls, smses, emails, visits, hellos, good byes, prayers, blessings, listening, speaking etc have helped me tell the difference.

Once you taste something good, why go back and settle for something less?
