Absolutes-a new personal philosophy

Before we moved to Hanoi.  I used the phrase, "I never...." to describe all of the things I wouldn't do here.  I said things like "I'll never ride a motor bike."  I broke that absolute statement on the third day of being here.  I said that I would only take taxis.  That is simply not possible or sustainable. A major life lesson I have learned is to avoid absolute statements.  Let the circumstances dictate the outcome.  You can't always control or predict what life hurls at you.

P.S.  I ran over two rats on my motor bike commute to work this morning.  DISGUSTING!
