When Charlie Got Smart #1LinerWeds

Posted on June 17, 2020 by Marian Allen

Charlie and I were talking about our pasts, shaking our heads more in sorrow than in anger about things we know now that we wish we’d known then.

He gave me my one-liner for the week — maybe for all time:

“I always feel like I was an idiot until the day before yesterday.”

Is that when doubts were erased?

  That’s when doubts took hold. Socrates said that recognizing one’s ignorance is the beginning of wisdom, which is never achieved.

Exactly how to avoid something that just happened – that seemed to come out of the blue, but shouldn’t have been allowed. Now it can’t be UNdone or UNseen or UNfelt.

But the PLOT gets one step closer to its conclusion; who care is the characters hurt? They were stuck.
