What’s Your Second Guess

Shane texted me, ‘Did we do the right thing?’

‘I think so,’ I texted back. ‘He truly was guilty under the law.’

‘I still feel bad about it.’

‘Me too,’ I texted. ‘Lots of reasons to second guess our verdict. He seemed like a good kid, who made one mistake, was in the wrong place at the wrong time.’

Shane texted, ‘I’m breaking my own rule to only second guess decisions I can change. Can’t change this one.’

We agreed to the obvious, there was no point in mulling over or second guessing decisions that couldn’t be changed.

Today I won’t second guess decisions that can’t be changed.
