Or do we?
Can we really be held accountable for uncontrollable thoughts, feelings and emotions? What I have come to believe is that I can only hold myself responsible for the actions that I choose to, or not to, take.
Far too many times I have been riddled with the guilt of my thoughts, but why? I am human...we are human...and what greater gift do we possess than thought? I cannot stress enough that it is the actions we take, or not.
An amazing person once had a discussion with me about possibility and chance; evolving into the possibility of chance. Simply amazing, but there would be no way to place ourselves at the starting point of possibility, without the simple step of thought.
Decisions, decisions...
My webs of thought vary and allow me to be honest with myself. My actions do not always allow that same luxury. Thoughts can remain private, while actions speak in volumes; forcing us into responsibility.
I am accountable for what I say and do, but my thoughts are merely webs within...and I'm tangled.

Gosh, Yoli, I never thought of it this way. This is a perfect way to describe thoughts vs. actions. Funny how reflecting on certain situations brings clarity that isn't present at the time it happens.
