I know why I failed miserably as an Army officer; I cannot handle living with ambiguity. I need the world to be black and white, not some opaque shade situated somewhere in between. Of course real life is muddied by misunderstood intentions, fear of rejection, pride or ego, jealousy, and a litany of other petty … Continue reading Ambiguity
