Has your Never turned into Right Now?

Lately, I had to reflect on some of my moral fabric, and contemplate on the word Never. Although, I try not to use the word Never often, because of the old saying, “NEVER SAY NEVER”, there were some things I knew I just wouldn’t do….and I could say never about that. Right now you are probably thinking…there are some Never… you can say now too, Right?

I don’t want to offend, nor hurt anyone’s feelings, but I’m finding that there are some things I accept mainly because “IT” has no way of affecting me! Because there isn’t any personal connection it’s easy to say Never, until the tables turn! Now, for instance, some time ago, my niece called me to say she was interested in females, although the news caught me by surprise, I was very supportive. I like most relatives said “I love you no matter what, and I’m here for you”! I thought to myself I would Never, let some one’s sexual preference change the way I feel about them, especially if it’s a family member. Then her mom called me in an uproar, crying and asked me how could I be so supportive, I asked why isn’t she? She is still her daughter, and then after she gave me many biblical quotes, I understood, but I wasn’t wavered on my decisions until she said…”What if Brandon told you he was interested in boys/men?” Whoooa, hold your horses’ sister I don’t even want that spoken unto the universe! That’s not even a question, are you crazy? That’s when I had to reflect on the Never, of course I know I would love my son, and although it’s a choice, I would not choose that lifestyle for My son!….

I’m a divorcee, not by choice but by force, my husband refused to be monogamous, nor trustworthy, so in order not to become inmate number 567899933, I decided it was best to dissolve the marriage. During my trials and tribulations, my ex-husband had many lady friends, and the day I saw him with one, I said I would Never date a married man nor associate with a women who would. Well life has ways of making you Never, say what you wouldn’t do. Although there are always situations and circumstances that will make one waver on decisions, I ran across several both with my friends and self.

Even, television shows makes Me think about my moral fabric, and how different situations change what and how I feel about things that should be a no brainer, for the word Never.
ABC’S Private Practice, had an episode where Maya the 15 year old daughter of two affluent Doctors, is pregnant. Her parents were distraught, Naomi her mom wanted her to have an abortion although she was against this procedure. Naomi thought she would Never, advise anyone to have an abortion, and here she was relentlessly, adamantly, forcefully demanding her 15 years old daughter to have an abortion.

Now maybe you’re one of the people where the world is always black and white, and there is no grey….but here’s one. Stealing, should one steal or shouldn’t? Reports are the Haitians are looting and stealing, in Haiti. Now, I’m thinking they should do what’s necessary to survive and when the media reports that, I change the channel. That was also the case in Louisiana, now you tell me: Where do you stand on this or any of the other moral issues I’ve composed?

Remember...... Never can be Right now!?
