Confession: I read my horoscope every so often. My favorite is at Yahoo; it's so accurate sometimes. I get shivers. Today it reads "Obviously, you've been a very good little Aries this year, because not only is Christmas coming early, Santa will also arrive with every single thing you put on your wish list. That's not an easy feat to pull off, of course -- being that good -- but recently, you've been undeniably loyal, faithful, hardworking and cheerful. All that's left for you now is to smile and thank the powers that be for noticing." This is fairly accurate. Well, I can honestly say I tried to be good, to stay out of trouble. But what happens when trouble comes looking for you? I think one of the worst things in this world is when you're sitting around, minding your own business and BAM! Trouble - with a capital T - comes at you full throttle. Many times, I've been in really bad arguments where I and the other party say awful things that we may or may not mean. Most of the time, I mean them. I always try to say what I mean and mean what I say, even in the heat of an argument. Often, one or both of us will walk away. Unless I'm absolutely, positively sure I'm in the wrong, I will not go after the other person to apologize. At this point, I will think, "That's over." But then, for some unfathomable reason, the other person will call or come by - and want to make nice! See what I mean by trouble? You know it's just a train wreck waiting to happen. So, I don't place too much faith in horoscopes. They have yet to predict such accidents within an acceptable confidence interval.
Final thought: Some accidents are unavoidable.
