“If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn’t sit for a month.” — Theodore Roosevelt

• A Strangely Late Response

Last year I wrote to authors of books on dreams and dreaming asking for a brief review or comment on my soon-to-be-published book Dreaming comment about how to keep up with email, how to avoid spam, encouragement to read my book, and an invitation to collaborate on any topic of mutual interest. With regard to the question of whether we’d met I responded:

“Certainly not. I don’t bother fraternizing with ‘colleagues’ since virtually no colleagues have anything to offer. If I have something worth saying, then I publish it.”

You are responsible for what you cause but not what you trigger. The issues you cause are issues you either cause intentionally, or should be aware you’re causing as a direct consequence of what you do or say.

The issues you trigger are associated with the issues you cause but may not be logically related to them. Triggered issues are reasonably related but not based on commonly or even uncommonly accepted reasons. Triggered issues cannot be accurately predicted. In most cases they cannot be predicted at all.
