Standing on two legs

I had a somewhat overdue conversation today with a good friend. It was one of those delicate situations where you know that sometime soon you are going to have an important conversation with somebody you care about, and you even know what the conversation will be about, and you suspect it might be a difficult conversation, and neither of you has yet felt ready to have the conversation.

And then today we had the conversation, and it was like that great feeling you get after you’ve had a tooth pulled. “What was the problem?” you find yourself saying, “I feel so much better now!”

We’ve all been there. You suddenly find yourself standing with both legs on the ground, and you realize that for too long you had been trying to balance on one leg — without even knowing you were standing on one leg.

Standing on two legs is so much better. Much less chance of falling down. I’m not sure, but I think 孔子 said that. 🙂
