I've been sharing my opinions on how different things work. These opinions were sometimes based on my observations and personal experience not on original source; because the source was not available, or because I was not able to understand the source or because taking the time to understand the source would have caused me to delay or even abandon the sharing of that opinion. Many people took that as knowledge or as a fact, when in fact it was only a theory, a model, or a shortcut to the actual knowledge.

• Have I caused them harm or did I help them?
• Have I caused harm to the system or did I help the system grow?

I don't know the answer. I did what I felt right in that moment. I took some risks and I feel I got it right most of the time. If I got it wrong I should pay and suffer the consequences.

Anyway, I should be more careful at how I share the truth.
