Someone told me relcntey that the three most important things to be able to say are: 1) I don't know; 2) I was wrong; 3) I need help.Have you practiced that third one lately? Could be you need help committing some crime or another. Could also be you need help with the boatload of responsibilities in your life.Either way, you get a littlel relief. Only you know for sure which one might be best at this moment.
