Are We Sinning at Times, or Perhaps Simply Foolish?

Man thinking

For years I had wanted a radar detector. Why? I couldn’t say, because I don’t generally drive in places where I would need one. And I’ve only had a handful of tickets.

Maybe I thought I would get even fewer tickets with a radar detector, or none at all.

Whatever my convoluted reasoning, I didn’t want it so I could drive faster. I just wanted one. It seemed like a cool idea to know where the cop was before he knew where I was.

So, I bought one. It came in the mail and I told my wife what I had done.

“Are you out of your stupid mind?” she asked me. “What were you thinking?” Within 15 minutes I realized I needed to take advantage of the 30-day money back guarantee.

It’s worth distinguishing between an error in judgment and an integrity problem. Have I done something dishonest or immoral? Yes, that needs to be dealt with.

But, sometimes we’re just foolish.
