Priorities and tests of strength

[Burgbud]

(Fearless) The way I expressed this to Raven was to take this example.

We can analogize this to death. To me it would be a better analogy if you called Raven at work and told him you were in the hospital and to come right away. If he then drives by a horrible accident and stops to help a severely injured person, how would that be to you? After all he might reasonably assume that since you're in the hospital, you're being cared for to the greatest possible extent. Otoh, you might be within an inch of your life. Should you be able to count on him?




I'm saying that people can make mistakes...

This confuses me because I'm not sure if you're saying that Brian's wife made a mistake or not.


So yes lying in a touch and go state is a vulnerable state but if a guy's wife is unaware of that state,

Brian said he text'd both his mom and his wife. Whatever he text'd was enough to cause his mom to jump on a plane and fly out. I know we hate to assume anything around here but there comes a point where we're just making excuses. You might next claim that for all we know Brian's mom jumps on a plane whenever he gets the flu. I'm content with the belief that his condition wasn't an unknowable mystery to his wife.

I've said this before but I'll say it again in hopes of being perfectly clear. I don't necessarily think what Brian's wife did was unforgivable or some kind of deal breaker. I can see that she was in a difficult spot. I have compassion for anyone in her position. I don't think she needs to walk the plank or be made to feel small. But I think Brian has every right to be upset and to expect better in the future. I think his wife *did the wrong thing.* I don't think that means she's worthless. I know Hap doesn't think she did the wrong thing at all. You and most others seem to be on that side as well.
