We all have been in a place where we have made a bad descision. It is part of human nature, to make mistakes. I feel that everyone deserves a second chance.
But....
There comes a point in time where someone makes a decision so hurtful and with such purpose that it becomes impossible to forgive and you are only left to forget.
But sometimes...
You can't forget. Sometimes they hurtful nature is too much to forgive or forget. And then you are left with finding options to deal.
And that is fine, I can deal with the best of them.

Epistemology
I consider myself a fairly intelligent person. I have an advance degree and I tend to be a very logical, if not overly, thinker.
In college I struggled with mathematical courses (account, statistics, finance, etc). In my MBA program I didn't have to deal with those courses and found that I excelled. Give me a chance to answer a question with an essay response or give me a 3000 word paper over multiple choice and I will love you forever.
So why is it that for the first time in YEARS I am finding myself questioning my ability to grasp new concepts?
When I stated that I am intelligent I should have also mentioned that I am not the intelligent person that reads something once and remembers all valid points. Instead I have to read and highlight a document, then reread and take notes to fully grasp the concepts. I think recognizing my need to take some extra time adds to my assessment of intelligence.
I am currently taking a class in my doctorate program, Knowledge of Theory and Practice. Sounds simple enough right? What I didn't know was that this class was a disguise for philosophy, possibly the stupidest subject known to man.
In my undergraduate studies at the U I had two take two philosophy based courses. I did this by taking a class on social ethics and world religions. I had NO desire to contemplate if the table was there or if it was not there. How that at all helps our society or expands on knowledge is beyond me.
I believe that those who study philosophy at this general level are really just unable to commit to a god damn thing. I normally avoid knocking any type of study, but I will knock the HELL out of the study of general philosophy. It provides NOTHING to ANYONE.
I want to tear out every last gray hair on my head. And I imagine, as this class continues, that I will grow more gray hairs to pull out. I understand the importance of knowledge and applying theories into practice. This is fundamental process in the doctoral journey. I do not understand how debating the philosophy of knowledge is fundamental to anything. This is the biggest waste of my time and money, and I plan on letting the University know this.
