What do you suppose happens, in the end, to a person who is vulnerable and also courageous at the same time?

She dies. We all do. What else can be said?

She’s not much different than millions of other people.

One would hope she would learn from her experience and do something different the next time.

Perhaps she is unconditional in her loving and attempts to find goodness in all people. Perhaps she is not working from a point of trust or lack of trust. Perhaps trust never enters the picture at all for her….she instead remains in the moment guided by possibilities of what the future could be while she fully participates in life without being attached to outcome. Maybe it’s just you that sees betrayal. Allowing oneself to be authentic can also appear as vulnerability but it can be very attractive. Accepting what life throws at you and using optimal skills to keep yourself from being buffeted about is admirable. This person could be listening to their own drummer and inner voice and eventually become legend…someone of the caliber of Mother Theresa.

Woman.

Somewhere along the way she’ll have to be strong up front and say “this time around I’m not going to give the benefit of a doubt, I’m not going to go against my gut feeling, I’m not going to think and look at the very best to overcome the worst”- and she’ll pass them over for someone better.
