Maybe it is just because I am reading a book about the Mafia, I finally get the quote about leaving the gun and taking the cannoli. Life is short, leave everything behind that isn't enjoyable and grab the gusto.
Is this the lesson I need to take away? Yes.
At some point, we need to stop paying attention to the unimportant stuff and focus on the sweetness of life. It is so good and the good stuff is all that matters to our well being. But it has to be the right good stuff. Too many sweets make us sick...and therein lies the rub. We must be temperate in our appetites
But are we responsible for others? No.
