Think it over, FIRST

While Donald has fallen off the radar momentarily, the scrutiny surrounding Arnold has certainly ramped up.  It just slays me that guys especially never think about the possible repercussions of their actions until after the poo hits the fan.  This is behavior I'd expect from teenagers or even small children--not grown adults--which brings me to the obvious conclusion:  no thinking was involved, period, and some men are just not mature adults.  Arnold is the new Poster child for this malady.

   Arnold's behavior was all about "doing it now" and thinking about it later, and then, only when you hit a little snag like a pregnancy.  You know as well as I do it wasn't a one time fling.  Nahhhh.  And to get your maid pregnant at the same time you've gotten your wife pregnant, there is just NO EXCUSE. No explaining or justifying is going to get you out of this, and no apology is going to ever fix what you've done.

Nobody's perfect and I get that.  Arnold's no different than anyone else and I guess that's what gets me.  If you spend all your time making deals, acquiring more, worshiping $$, letting your ego run wild, and believing your own press, you begin to really think you are different.  You begin to think somehow the rules don't apply to you, and you forget all those basic truths we learned as children.  And when that happens, you  get out of balance and are headed for a brick wall going 90 mph.  You are gonna screw up seriously and it's gonna be messsssssy.  Lots of other people are going to get caught up in the tsunami of your life lessons.  You are going to hurt and destroy relationships with the very people you love.

  To my way of thinking, all of this could be avoided by staying grounded and right sized.  The Terminator was bigger than life to start with, and my belief is, Arnold forgot who he really was and what was really important to him.  He made choices that fed his ego and separated him from his family and core beliefs.  And it cost him EVERYTHING.  How many times do we have to watch people implode, in public, when they just cannot or will not wake up??  EGO, EGO, EGO.  In this case, ego stands for Easing God Out.  You can, but it won't take you any place you really want to go.
