As I get older there seem to be many things that I said I would 'never do', or that I would be too smart to fall for when I looked at the chioces others have made. Funny thing about this is that so many of these exact same things I eventually ended up doing, or coming very close to. So I rarely say 'I'll never do   ________ ' anymore. I think that is part of growing up and understanding that under certain life circumstances each human being is capable and able to do anything.

I can still judge on what I do not currently want or allow in my life, I can say that I do not feel comfortable with the actions of some other people or myself, yet I can in some ways understand what might make a person do those things a little more than I used to.

I wonder if anyone here would feel open or brave enough to list some of the things they too thought they were never going to do that they eventually did?  

There was a time that I thought I was too smart, moral, different to:

Have romantic feelings for a woman.(so I condemned those that were gay, until I fell for one) 

Become an alcoholic or do drugs. (Because they were the one under bridges that were crazy, until I saw one in the mirror)

Be played for a fool. (because I didn't trust anyone and was always so careful, but it happened) 

Cheat on someone I loved (until I gave myself permission to do it because I felt dead anyway, after I judged those that confessed it to me)

Join a cult (because they made a lot of logical sense and it didn't seem like one, after I spoke badly of those that did)

Participate in a ritual that was not of my own religion (because I wanted despirately to make something happen that I didn't trust God for)

Become addicted to being online(until I slowly pulled away from life.After berating those 'geeks' that never left their pcs)

Lie, cheat or steal, (until fear in me happened enough to, when I often became indignant at those that did ) 

Not my whole list, but a start. Not sure what made me write this, maybe it was just time.
